Meet Laura, Founder of Wellness From Within
My Story
Welcome to Wellness from Within.
Taking the step to seek support is significant, and I'm glad you're here.
I'm Laura Waddell, an experienced therapist with nearly twenty years of helping individuals navigate mental health challenges, I'm passionate about empowering you to overcome obstacles and enhance your wellbeing. My experience includes supporting a diverse range of clients facing depression, anxiety, and the impact of trauma.
Specialties
My expertise lies in working with adults, particularly those navigating the complexities of depression and anxiety. Alongside my thriving private practice, I also hold a Senior Specialist CBT Therapist role within an NHS Perinatal Mental Health Team where I support mothers and their families.
Beyond mental health support, my varied experience drives my interest in wellbeing coaching. Here, I focus on empowering individuals to navigate obstacles and realise their personal and professional goals, recognising that support can be valuable even without underlying mental health issues.
Approach
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques and tailor my approach to each client's unique needs. I prioritise creating a warm and supportive environment for my clients.
A BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Supervisor, I bring extensive experience in CBT. My practice is further enriched by my training and experience in EMDR and Couples Therapy, alongside skills in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am currently enhancing my therapeutic approach through training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT Therapy).
