I’m Laura (she/her)

Thank you for being here.

I offer trauma-informed, identity-affirming counselling and therapy and nature-based healing. I also specialise in supporting neurodivergent people, especially those with autism and ADHD. Whether you're drawn to my approach or you’re just curious, you're very welcome. I work online and in-person in Birmingham and I also facilitate workshops across the UK. My work is rooted in helping people reconnect with themselves, with nature and with cycles and seasons.

My practice blends meditation, somatic therapy, ritual, ceremony and nature connection. I integrate psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, movement, and community care and my work is always guided by values of equity, justice, and liberation.

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 has supported and sustained me along the way.

Here, you’ll find a collection of offerings, reflections, and tools to guide and nourish you.

  • 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.

    Viktor E. Frankl

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

    Julie Tilsen

  • 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.
