Dr. Laura Stoops, BACP, NCPS

Dr. Laura Stoops is a UK-qualified integrative counsellor who combines several therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are. She draws primarily on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic approaches to offer flexible, evidence-informed support tailored to an individual’s situation. Dr. Stoops is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification that reflects her commitment to ethical practice and ongoing professional development.

Opening up to a new therapist can feel daunting, and Dr. Stoops aims to create a non-judgemental, supportive environment so people can speak openly about difficult topics. She has supported people with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, health and ageing worries, carer responsibilities, future planning, and developing greater self-awareness. Her approach focuses on listening carefully to each person’s perspective and working collaboratively to identify practical steps forward.

When someone chooses to work with Dr. Stoops she prioritises understanding the individual experience and finding a way of working that fits that person’s needs and goals. Her style is warm and professional, and she seeks to help people build insight, coping skills, and clearer direction as they navigate life’s challenges.
