Hope and Heal Counselling

Hello and a warm welcome to Hope and Heal Counselling website. My name is Laura Gill and I am Hope and Heal Counselling services.

Life can become confusing quickly. One moment everything feels steady and familiar, and the next, something shifts. Suddenly the ground beneath you feels unsteady, and what once made sense no longer does. Sometimes nothing specific has happened at all — the feelings you’re carrying may have been with you for a long time, waiting to be understood.

​

My name is Laura, and I’m here to support you through those moments. I understand the feelings you can name, and the ones you can’t. Reaching out for counselling is a strong and courageous first step. It’s the beginning of turning uncertainty into stability, easing the emotions that take up so much space, and slowly moving from darker days into lighter ones.

As an integrative counsellor, I won’t give advice or tell you what to do. Instead, I’ll walk alongside you. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your world, at your pace, in a space that is empathic, safe, and free from judgement. You can set goals, review your progress, and choose what feels right. I offer open-ended sessions as well as shorter therapy options of 8, 12, or 20 weeks.

​

I work in different ways to suit your needs:

Talking therapy to explore thoughts and emotions safely.
Creative work for deeper insight when words are hard to find.
Somatic work to understand how stress and trauma live in the body and learn grounding techniques that bring calm and release.


Sessions are available face-to-face, online, or by telephone — whatever feels most comfortable for you.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory session via phone or Google Meet, giving you space to ask questions and get a sense of whether I’m the right counsellor for you. I also provide low-cost counselling (subject to evidence and review) to help make therapy accessible.

Whether this is for you or someone you care about, you don’t have to face things alone. Take the first step — and together, we’ll move toward steadier, brighter days.

Vision

That everyone gets to know their authentic self and lives their best life, being proud of themselves.
