A calm, welcoming practice

✦  Our story

Why we started LAURA

LAURA began with a simple wish: to create the kind of therapy space we would want for ourselves — calm, unhurried and genuinely kind.

Founded by Registered Psychotherapist Laura Bennett, the practice has grown into a small team of therapists who share the same values. We see adults, couples and new parents navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma and the many transitions life brings.

Whether you’re coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, we’ll meet you where you are.

✦  Our space

A quiet place to slow down

Our studio is designed to feel more like a living room than a clinic — soft light, comfortable chairs and a cup of tea waiting for you.
