Laurie | Psychotherapist
Online Psychotherapy Poole
Hi - I’m Laurie, a psychotherapist who understands what it’s like to feel lost and never good enough.
Maybe you’re here because you never quite feel good enough and feel compelled to need to do more and be more, just to feel like you fit in. Hiding behind a mask because you believe no-one would like the real you. Maybe you've been feeling stuck, anxious and disconnected for so long, it's become your normal - always overthinking and second-guessing yourself. Maybe you're tired of giving everything of yourself to other people, only to be left feeling drained and resentful.
Maybe you’re reading this because things have become too heavy to carry alone - but you’re still wondering, “Is it really that bad?”
I work with thoughtful, sensitive people who often feel lost, invisible, or “too much.” You might be a high-achiever who’s always questioning yourself, quietly overwhelmed, or struggling to make space for your own needs. Perhaps your childhood taught you to stay small, hide your feelings, or keep it all together - leaving you disconnected from yourself now.
If any of this sounds like you, it doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy can help you make sense of your story, and start letting go of the idea that you have to earn your worth.
Whether you’re feeling anxious, stuck in old patterns, or wondering why nothing feels "right", therapy with me offers a warm, down to earth space to untangle what's holding you back.
If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message via the send a message - button.
