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.
