About Wellness From Within

Welcome, I'm Laura Waddell, I am an experienced therapist with an extensive background in both the NHS and private practice, helping adults and couples navigate the complexities of modern life.

While I work with a broad range of individual challenges, I have a particular clinical focus on Couples Therapy and Perinatal Mental Health.

Relationships & Couples
Relationships are hard work, especially when life gets in the way. I work with couples at all stages—whether you are navigating long-term difficulties, current conflict, or simply feel like you’ve lost your connection. I don’t take sides; I help you both understand the patterns you’ve fallen into and how to break them.

Perinatal & Parenting Support
The transition to parenthood is often a shock to the system. I specialise in the "unspoken" side of this period: fertility anxiety, postpartum depression, bonding difficulties, and the strain a new baby puts on a partnership. I provide a space to be honest about how difficult this stage actually is.

Individual Therapy
Beyond my specialisms, I have years of experience helping individuals manage depression and low mood, anxiety difficulties including OCD, health anxiety and worry, and I have experience of supporting people with trauma.

My Approach
I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I draw on evidence-based tools including CBT, EMDR, and ACT. This means our sessions are focused on understanding why you feel this way and developing the actual skills you need to change your day-to-day life.

Next Steps
Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free introductory call to discuss what’s going on and see if my approach feels like the right fit for you.
