Welcome to
Laura Mackay Psychotherapy
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
I am UK Council for Psychotherapy accredited and registered (UKCP), working in private practice in central Bristol. I am a Member of The Council for Psychoanalysis & Jungian Analysis College (CPJA). I am also a member of the College of Psychoanalysts (CP-UK) and the Academy for Psychoanalysis. I have worked within the NHS’s mental health system, as part of Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). I completed my post-graduate training at the Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis and am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.
I have worked with individuals with a range of difficulties including a loss of meaning or purpose in life, bereavement and depression, addiction and loneliness, eating disorders, self-harm, stress, anxiety and panic attacks.
I offer a secure space to discuss whatever is on your mind. If you are in a crisis or experiencing more long-term difficulties then having a regular time and place to talk to a psychotherapist in a confidential setting can be helpful.
About Laura
Experience
Over the last twenty five years, I have been working with individuals and groups in the field of mental health, before more recently specialising in Psychoanalysis.
Alongside my private practice, I worked for several years as a psychotherapist at CAMHS and at the Site South West Psychoanalytic Clinic which provides long term therapy for people on very low incomes.
Consultation & Fee
I usually suggest that someone interested in therapy comes along for an initial conversation. At the first meeting we will discuss the presenting issue and how we might work together. There is always space for questions and any concerns. Practicalities such as session times, frequency and fees will also be discussed.
How To Find Me
My practice is located in Clifton. The City of Bristol has excellent transport links by train and bus and parking is available locally in BS8.

Get in touch
Feel free to contact me by email using this secure contact form if you have any questions about how psychotherapy works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07896 873561 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
