About
About Laura Rathbone
Pain fascinates me as an experience and motivates me as a therapist.
​
Pain is personal.
It's personal for people who choose to work with me, but it's also personal to me. My parents lived with long-term conditions and I grew watching my mum struggle with chronic back pain.
​
I have grown and nurtured my practice around compassion and the drive to be at the forefront of the best quality evidence, science and philosophy.
​
The therapeutic space I hold is inclusive and intersectional.
As a queer person, I am committed to the safety of the people that come to work with me.
I maintain my clinical skill and ethical standards through a team of supervisors who support my psychologically-informed practice.
