Laidley Poulton

Therapist MCouns. M.A.C.A Level 2

Laids is a dedicated and compassionate counsellor committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve mental well-being. My expertise lies in anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and communication issues affecting individual’s daily lives. I am passionate about tailoring my approach to meet the emotional needs of each individual.

I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and help them become aware and make productive use of their emotions. The feedback I receive working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, is such that they find me to be caring and non-judgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them.

I believe my role is to meet clients where they are and guide them to where they want to be, by demonstrating understanding, patience, and unconditional positive regard.
