JUST LIFE - Laura Houghton - Working as a Christian Counsellor

Here is Laura's bio: "My name is Laura Houghton. I live in the North West of England. I have been happily married for 31 years. I am a Mum with 3 grown up daughters, all making their way in the world. I am a practising Catholic. I have a small private counselling practice. I have been working as a Christian counsellor for 13 years. I initially specialised in addiction recovery, moving subsequently into a wider field of counselling. I typically use the model of the 12 steps as a guiding and motivational structure with my clients.When a new client is referred to me we will have an initial consultation to see if we feel we can work together. During this consultation I look at the person holistically - assessing their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.During the therapeutic process we embark on a journey of self examination by visiting the doors of the past, present and future. The work is an invitation to grow, change and connect with your authentic self. We learn to grow up and to take better care of ourselves, and build healthy connections with God, ourselves and the people around us."
