Welcome to
Laura Serrani Counselling and Psychotherapy
“Have patience with everything unresolved and try to love the questions themselves”
Rilke
Online Counselling and Psychotherapy from Canary Wharf
As human beings, we all come across some existential questions that are inescapable parts of our existence.
Who am I?
Where do I want to live?
How do I want to live my life?
Who do I want to be with?
Why did this happen to me?
Anxiety and sadness stem from the universal human experience of suffering and making choices.
Therapy is about making sense, meaning-making, and finding ways to cope with worries.
Are you feeling alone or disconnected from the people around you or the place you live in?
Are you feeling sad with a sense of no purpose in life?
Are you feeling anxious or angry and don’t know why?
Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed in any area of your life?
Are you finding it hard to cope with falling outs or breakups in your relationship?
I help young people and adults to overcome obstacles in their journey so that they can unleash their full potential and build a life worth living.
Being an expat myself, my speciality includes supporting expats:
- Have you moved to other countries and struggled to integrate and find your place or fit in?
- Are you not feeling part of the mainstream or have you returned to your home country and struggled to re-settle?
- As a parent, are you raising children overseas and finding it challenging because of cultural clashes?
- Are you a young person or an adult raised abroad and struggling to feel at home?
- Do you miss living abroad?
- Do you miss home?
- Do you feel that cultural or language diversity plays a role in perpetuating miscommunications and forming attachments?
At Laura Serrani Counselling and Psychotherapy, I can switch Italian-English language during therapy sessions to foster self-discovery.
About Me (She/Her)
I'm Laura Serrani, a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist and BACP registered member. I draw upon various therapeutic modalities such as person-centered, Psychodynamics, CBT, attachment studies, and Gestalt. I have a special interest in mindfulness which I incorporate into my practice too. I work with children, young people and adults. I offer trust and openness and a space where you are free to delve into the depths of your feelings, emotions, and thoughts to rediscover the essence of your being. I also welcome referrals from parents, teachers or mental health practitioners to provide counselling sessions for 11-17-year-olds.
I am also a certified coach and member of the Association for Coaching (AC). I coach parents and professionals to be more effective in their roles.
In my spare time, I love reading, writing, and dancing. I enjoy show performances, especially ballet and hip-hop, walking in nature, experimenting with new recipes, and doing art.
