Dr Laura Goody – Goodspace Psychology

Hi, I’m Laura – a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, EMDR Therapist and founder of Goodspace Psychology. I have worked within adult mental health care for over 16 years, specialising in NHS acute crisis care for suicidality and complex mental health difficulties. Within my private practice, I am able to offer 1:1 therapy for adults struggling with their mental health or simply wanting to focus on improving their overall sense of wellbeing.

My approach
I believe it is important to connect first and foremost as people, and so I strive to offer warmth, understanding and compassion in every conversation. I draw on my doctoral training and accredited training in various therapeutic models to suggest techniques and solutions that may help. This can include Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). Ultimately, I aim for therapy to be a compassionate and rewarding experience where you feel understood, cared for and challenged to succeed.

My specialist areas
I have expertise in helping people at points of high distress, particularly when this is causing people to turn to coping mechanisms that can be considered harmful. I also have specialist skills in working with trauma. Some examples of presentations I work with are:
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Self-esteem issues
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Complex Trauma
• Self-harming behaviour
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Sleep disturbance
• Substance Misuse
• Anger management issues
