Laura, founder and clinical director of Burch Counselling and Consultation, specializes in trauma and post-traumatic stress, including first responders, domestic violence, family violence, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. With extensive experience in safety and risk assessment, Laura provides compassionate, client-centered support to individuals navigating the complexities of trauma, risk, safety, and recovery.

Laura’s approach prioritizes empowerment, healing, and resilience, offering a safe space for clients to rebuild their lives with confidence and strength.

Laura uses a blend of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, trauma-informed interventions, solution-focused, and internal family systems. She believes that trauma lives within the body, and she works to help clients safely release, process, and mindfully move forward in their lives.

Laura also has a strong focus on supporting clients where they are at while identifying behavioural patterns, boundaries, tolerations, and how to live a life that is more aligned. If you find yourself repeating patterns, such as always dating the same type of person, feeling betrayed, feeling small, walking on eggshells, or making decisions from fear, Laura can help guide you and walk beside you in creating a life you love.

I support individuals, couples, and families through mental health challenges, trauma, perinatal challenges, and life transitions. Using a bottom-up approach, we lean into somatic and integrative tools to engage you in your healing journey. I work with clients from the age of 12.

You don’t have to have it all figured out—just start where you are. I’m here when you’re ready.
