About me
My journey into Hypnotherapy:
Through my experience over the years working as a Psychiatric Nurse in both the NHS and private sector, I became increasingly aware of the limitations of the medical model, particularly its strong reliance on medication. While medication can be an important part of recovery for some, I often found that symptoms were being treated without addressing the root cause. And this realisation sparked a deep desire to offer more holistic and lasting change.
I wanted to find skills that would offer real support - not just by managing symptoms, but by helping people feel seen, understood, and empowered in their recovery. My journey led me to train in Reiki, EFT, breathwork facilitation and to become a Qigong teacher.
These traditional healing practices offered a more holistic approach to supporting emotional and physical wellbeing and address the deeper emotional imbalances that often underlie symptoms. Seeing the immediate changes that these approaches could offer strengthened my belief that real, sustainable healing happens when we work with both the body and the mind.
Hypnotherapy first entered my life when I used it to successfully stop smoking, in a single session. That remarkable experience stayed with me, and years later, when exploring a more integrative approach to mental wellness, I discovered Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy and it immediately resonated with me.
Today, through my business, Body-Aligned Mind, I draw on my background in nursing, holistic therapies, energy work and personal experience to offer a therapeutic approach that’s grounded, compassionate, and aligned with my values.
Here are some kind words from a few of my previous clients:
“Laura is amazing! Her hypnotherapy sessions really helped me shift negative thinking and ease my anxiety. I feel calmer, more positive, and finally in control of my thoughts. Highly recommend!”
“After the first session with Laura I noticed a shift in my mindset, and now after session 6, I've massively cut down on drinking, starting back at the gym and just feel like I have a sense of purpose again.”
“ I felt such movements and understanding of myself and a different perspective. Breaking down old beliefs and changing these."
