Laura Adlam

Hello, I’m Laura and I specialise in Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Hypnotherapy.

With experience working with clients of all ages I support individuals with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, low mood, trauma, phobias and life transitions with the goal of empowering them to make positive, lasting changes.

My approach is forward-looking, and solution focused, helping clients take control of their lives and move toward their preferred future in an empowering way.

What to Expect

Clients tell me they like working with me because I am caring, empathetic and approachable. I listen without judgement and then we work together to find a lasting solution to your problems based on what you need. No two clients are treated in exactly the same way.

At Laura Adlam Therapy Solutions, I treat all kinds of issues, including anxiety, low mood, trauma and phobias, and I work with people of all ages.

About Me

I am an experienced mental health professional with a strong background in Mental Health Nursing, having worked across a variety of services, including adult mental health, child and adolescent care, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and eating disorders.

I went on to train in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Rewind Trauma Therapy.

I am passionate about helping people to change their lives with these effective models of therapy.

I have been practising as a private therapist since 2011 and continue to engage in regular professional development and receive ongoing supervision to stay at the forefront of best practices.

I have a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, and I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment offering a person-centred, tailored approach, ensuring that each client receives the care and attention they need to move forward.

Face-to-face appointments take place at my therapy room based in Ross-On-Wye.

Reviews

“"Anxiety was controlling my life and having unsuccessfully tried other therapies previously I was approaching the point where I genuinely believed I couldn't be helped. Whilst there aren't any miracle fixes, the sessions with Laura and learning about myself has really helped me turn those dark days in which I didn't want to get out of bed, to days where I can now rationalise any negative thoughts, not feel overwhelmed by them and function normally. I feel more happier and confident in myself now than I have done in 20 years and can't thank Laura enough for helping give me my life back. Laura is awesome and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone out there who maybe suffering in silence."”

“"Laura is amazing she has a real passion for her work and has helped me more than she knows. She's changed my whole perspective and given me a drive to chase my dreams. I always feel ready to conquer the world after a session. It helped me discover my purpose and career path."”

“"I have used Laura for the last six years, I came to her because I have always suffered from anxiety, and more specifically health anxiety. My doctor recommended Laura to me and it was the best thing I have ever done. It has changed my life, the way I form my relationships and my patterns of thinking [...]. Laura is a source of stability to my mental health and although I manage my anxiety much better than I used to, I continue to go to Laura for mental health 'top ups'. Continuing to train my brain to be positive and solution focused. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura, she has a calm, kind and gentle nature and has a way to word things to suit the way my brain processes and thinks, allowing me to understand why I may feel a certain way or how I can combat those overwhelming feelings."”

“"Laura was really good and inspired me- I could feel her belief in me. She has been very compassionate and understanding around my learning disabilities and helped me find confidence and clarity. I moved out of a toxic relationship pattern that broke my confidence and began to build myself all over again."”

“"The holiday to Disneyland was a complete success, I can't remember feeling so relaxed and at ease going into a holiday EVER and I had the best time. I was able to handle the travelling, the crowded shuttle bus, the food and the endless amount of shows and parades without any pangs of anxiety – I can't recall any time in my life without anxiety hovering very close by to some extent. Thank you once again, your help has really made me reevaluate what I thought was impossible to do and I cannot wait to create more memories – it feels like a door to all sorts of possibilities is now open."”

“"I just wanted to thank you for your help. You have helped improve my confidence enormously, I am in a much better place emotionally! Meeting you has literally been life changing…….Thank you!"”

“"I can't recommend Laura enough. I've always struggled with exam anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, but after just a few sessions during my GCSEs, I developed a more positive mindset and learned to manage my stress productively. I continued working with her through university via her online therapy, and I still use her recordings when I feel stressed or can't sleep. Thanks to Laura, I achieved the grades I wanted- she has such a calming presence!"”

Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a fast-acting therapy that helps people to start living the life they want to live. Rather than focusing on your problems or asking you to examine them, SFBT looks at what you do want, how you’d prefer things to be and what’s already working. It promotes feelings of hopefulness, identifying and building on your strengths, skills and resources to move towards your preferred future. SFBT empowers you as it has, at its heart, the fundamental principle that we are the experts in our own lives and can, therefore, find the solutions to our problems.
