Hi, I'm Layla

Experience
My clinical experience includes long-term work with adults at The Centre for Better Health in London, and previous volunteer work with Mind, supporting socially isolated groups through a community wellbeing programme. I have worked with clients navigating relational trauma, attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions and loss.
I run my private practice online, working with adults across the UK. My approach is relational and attachment-focused - grounded in the understanding that the patterns formed in our earliest relationships continue to shape how we feel and behave long into adulthood.
I have written for and been published by Counselling Directory on the subject of relational trauma, you can read the article here.
Background
My former career was in leadership and business operations. Many years spent building and leading teams gave me a particular insight into how people struggle and thrive relationally and eventually led me to retrain as a therapist
