East meets West: Therapy & Wellbeing in Norwich
For me it was in 2017 when I discovered that a lot of Western psychological therapies are derived from Eastern contemplative traditions. While its no secret, it is not exactly popularised either. If these ancient traditions got it right about some things, could studying them at a deeper level bring us more wisdom? Is there a universal consciousness we can tap into that does not need to be learned? These are questions we can’t answer with conventional science but can find out ourselves when we study our own minds.
The approaches I take here, all help us get a little closer to these truths.

Hi, I'm Laura.
I’ve been curious about wellbeing since 2017. I like to combine Eastern practises that promote wellbeing with Western psychological therapies.
In therapy I specialise in I helping you retrain your response to anxiety, so that it no longer feels so scary. I bring together psychological approaches including EMDR and CBT hypnotherapy, with spiritual approaches including meditation and reiki, to help you go beyond coping.
I offer integrative anxiety therapy in Norwich and online, adapting our work to what feels most helpful for you.
Each session I had with Laura was excellent.
Laura has a warm friendly approach. She creates a space which enabled me to go deeply into the experience.
Margaret
Laura has helped me when all else failed! Laura’s approach is calm, professional and friendly. The hypnotherapy sessions and recordings to use later have been very successful. Thoroughly recommend.
Wendy
Laura made all my anxiety seem normal. Laura had so much warmth and empathy for my situation. The techniques she used really helped to reduce my anxiety levels and allow me to feel motivated and brave enough to face fears that had been with me for so long. Highly recommend.

Location
Sessions take place in a small village close to Norwich in a private, comfortable setting, with easy parking. Directions available on booking.
How I work - My Approach
My approach is integrative, meaning we look at your wellbeing as a whole rather than focusing on just one aspect.
I draw on a range of psychological approaches, including cognitive and behavioural techniques, acceptance and mindfulness-based tools, hypnotherapy and EMDR in Norwich, where appropriate. Alongside this, I may offer gentle lifestyle guidance, such as support around nutrition, daily habits, and nervous system regulation. This integrative approach to anxiety therapy in Norwich allows us to tailor the work to what feels most helpful for you.
What is a 1:1 therapy session?
A session is a calm, confidential space where you can talk through what’s been feeling difficult and begin to make sense of what’s going on.
We’ll gently explore what you’ve been experiencing day to day, how it’s affecting your thoughts, emotions, and physical wellbeing. From there, I’ll guide the session at a pace that feels comfortable for you, helping you feel more grounded and clear.
Where helpful, I may introduce simple tools or techniques to support anxiety regulation, emotional balance, and a greater sense of calm.
- Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £60.
- From anxiety to coping: package of 6 sessions are available at £300.
What is CBT hypnotherapy?
CBT hypnotherapy combines elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT therapy) with guided hypnosis and relaxation techniques. CBT focuses on understanding the thoughts, patterns and behaviours that may be contributing to anxiety or emotional overwhelm, while hypnosis can help support relaxation, nervous system regulation and bigger emotional change. For many people, this is more effective than CBT alone. Together, they can provide a calm, supportive approach for working with anxiety, stress, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
What is lifestyle medicine?
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence-based approach that focuses on how everyday factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, social connection and nervous system regulation can have a powerful impact on both mental and physical health.
Changes in these areas can make a difference to how you feel and protect against chronic diseases. Research also shows that your lifestyle can influence how your body responds to stress over time. These factors can be powerful supports alongside psychological therapy, helping you build resilience and feel more balanced day to day.
While medical treatment is sometimes important, making gentle, realistic lifestyle changes can support recovery, improve resilience, and help you feel more balanced day to day.
