Initial Consultation for Clinical Supervision (Online)

45 mins£45

An initial consultation for mental health professionals looking for a new Clinical Supervisor. Consultations last for up to 45 minutes and give us a chance to meet, discuss areas you would like to explore through supervision, and to find out if the service would be a good fit for you and your needs.

This is an online appointment. Google Meet will be booked automatically for us via the booking page (which can be found in your booking profile or confirmation email), but please contact me directly if you would prefer a Whatsapp, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams or phone session instead. You do not need to bring anything, but often a paper and pen can be a great starting tool for creativity and jotting things down. For phone sessions, simply call Laura on 0770 332 7330 at the time of your appointment when you are ready to start. Supervisees are gently reminded that sessions must start and finish on time; please contact Laura if you are running late to your appointment and it is safe to do so.

Initial Thrive Membership Meet (1-1)

30 mins£20

As Thrive at BDT is a therapeutic service, a brief consultation is needed to ensure the service is suitable for your needs. This gives us a chance to meet, discuss your reasons for seeking Thrive, to get acquainted with the space and ask any questions you may have about the service before we agree if the programme would be suitable for you. If not, I may be able to signpost you to other services where appropriate.
Please note, therapy services and 'Thrive at BDT' are two different services to meet different needs. The groups are not suitable for those who are interested in working with me as their therapist or have done so in the past, as this requires a different relationship and greater holding need. If you are unsure which service would best suit you, please feel free to book a Thrive meet (or Therapy Consultation if you feel you need more time) to discuss which service would best suit your needs.

Your Mind on Tasks (MOT)

1 hr£11

An easy, early morning, coffee-shop style wellbeing session for those wanting to make space for themselves and check in before starting their day. We start off with a self check in, a focusing activity to clarify the important tasks within any busy thoughts, and design your perfect week ahead. We then enjoy space to ground before checking out and continuing your week with more clarity and ease! These sessions include mostly independent exercises that aim to ground and centre for the day ahead, rather than relying on group activities. Come in office wear, comfy clothes or whatever you fancy!

Sessions take place at The Bromley, 73 Quakers Road, BS16 6NH. Doors open 15 minutes before sessions begin to welcome members and give them enough time to use the facilities, get a warm drink and make outstanding payments before sessions begin. To maintain the therapeutic nature of the sessions, members are gently reminded that sessions must start and finish on time, therefore late arrivals may not be permitted. Payment can be made upon booking, later via your booking profile, or at the space.

Well, Naturally! (Walking & Nature Group)

1 hr 30 mins£12

A wandering nature group for those wanting to connect with themselves, others and nature. We meet at the therapy space, and when the weather is ‘spitting or less’ we head to the local greenspace for a gentle connection and reflection walk in nature. When ‘spitting or more’ we stay in the cosy old cafe space with a warm drink and bring nature indoors to explore, craft and reflect.. I also invite people to join me on my free ‘walk and natters’ to drop in and say hello.

For those experiencing a want/need to:
- connect with others and themselves
- get out in nature
- find space to express and process
and just… breathe.

Bookable for current ‘Thrive at BDT’ members. If you are not currently a member, but are thinking of joining, welcome and please visit our new member page below for help with anything you might need! If more than 3 months has passed since your last Thrive session, please use the link to reinstate your Thrive membership and guarantee that there is adequate space to meet your needs within the programme.

Doors open 15 minutes before sessions begin to welcome members and give them enough time to use the facilities, get a warm drink and make outstanding payments before sessions begin. To maintain the therapeutic nature of the sessions, members are gently reminded that sessions must start and finish on time, therefore late arrivals may not be permitted.

The Write Mentality

1 hr 30 mins£12

* Open to all Thrive Members!

Anyone who arrives later than 5 minutes after the session start time (listed), may not be allowed to participate due to privacy reasons.

Early in my practice I also highly enjoyed working part-time at a University as a Creative Writing lecturer, and since then have always wanted to facilitate a creative and reflective writing group that uses the imagination to process and express ourselves. There is no pressure to share, just to write and listen for those who do, feedback is only given purely on how it other members reflected on it in relation theirselves.

Pen and paper or phones/touch screen devices are welcome as writing tools, just as long as it’s a silent keyboard.

For those who:
- want to learn more about themselves
- want to learn how writing can help us explore or express ourselves in different ways
- anyone who wants to enjoy writing and being creative, but not have to worry about spelling, grammar, handwriting, or the writing being 'technically good'. We solely focus on the containment, expressiveness, and freedom writing can bring.
