About

Ms Laura Willoughby is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with seven years of clinical experience. She holds a BA in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Irish College of Humanities and Applied Sciences (ICHAS), completed in 2020, and an Associate of Arts degree in Psychology from Liberty University, USA, completed in 2013.
Her practice provides a safe and confidential space for clients to discuss their needs in a supportive, non-judgemental environment. She offers both short-term and longer-term counselling to individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional, psychological and behavioural difficulties.
Laura’s main areas of expertise include coping skills, anxiety and emotional disturbance. She also works with clients managing depression, mood and personality disorders, impulse control disorders, psychosis, and issues relating to self-esteem. Her practice additionally covers relationship and life challenges, including divorce, parenting, life transitions, and open or non-monogamous relationships.
She has significant experience supporting clients within the LGBTQ+ community and those exploring issues of gender identity, sexuality, and racial identity. Her clinical work also includes support for survivors of sexual abuse, individuals with sexual addiction, and those facing challenges related to weight, obesity and body image.
