"After losing my Dad in a very unexpected and brutal way, I felt that I was starting to lose myself. I thought I could talk myself through my grief and just get over it and move on, but it proved to be a lot more difficult than that. I started to emotionally sink and felt like my energy for living had gone out.
I was put in touch with Laura after much encouragement from a loved one to talk to a professional. I have never been adverse to the idea of therapy, but in my head at the time I couldn't see that there was anything wrong with my behaviour, I still felt normal but emotionally heavier.
I saw Laura once a week over the period of around a year, and although what we worked through was physically and emotionally draining, it was by far the best thing I ever did for myself. The road of grief seemed long, and I didn't want to travel down that path and recall one of the most haunting and devastating times in my life in minute detail, but I did and it made an immeasurable amount of difference to me. Laura made sense of what felt like nonsense in my head. She made me feel like I wasn't going mildly insane, but in fact that I was just going through a process that was so incredibly normal. Laura taught me that there is no right way or wrong way to go through grief, you just have to go through it whatever way feels most natural to you.
It was very easy to open up to Laura as her presence and personality felt very gentle, she made it very easy for me to trust her. Although our sessions for now have come to a natural end, I feel confident in knowing that her door is always open for me should I need to re-visit. I couldn't recommend Laura enough to any person going through any stage of grief as her warmth and gentle words of wisdom gave me hope that I would feel happiness again. My energy is slowly but surely coming back to me, and I could never thank Laura enough for what I feel she has given back to me."
