holistic wellbeing: counselling, somatics, nature & ritual

I’m Laura (she/her)

Hello and thanks for being here. I’m Laura, a BACP registered counsellor and somatic trauma therapist, an eco-therapist, a licensed mindfulness and meditation teacher, and I also hold spaces for people to explore earth based spirituality. I work in person, in Birmingham and online.

My work is all about supporting you to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with cycles and seasons. My offerings are rooted in psychology, neuroscience, embodiment, ritual, folklore and nature connection, guided by values of equity, justice, liberation and community care.

While I work with anyone who’s drawn to my approach, I specialise in supporting people to explore aspects of marginalised identity, particularly those with autism and ADHD, or people from the LGBTQ+ community.

This path began with my own journey: navigating mental health challenges, discovering my neurodivergence later in life, and searching for meaning through deeper connection to myself, others and the natural world. Everything I now offer through The Clear Space has been shaped by what’s supported and sustained me along the way.

  • Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.

  • Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

  • Queering something breaks rules in order to liberate people who have been held hostage by what the rules require or prevent.

  • Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.

Offerings include therapeutic support, nature connection sessions, group circles and bespoke rituals. I offer trauma-aware spaces and practices to support reconnection with yourself, others and the world around you.
