Ms Laura Tarsia
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
“I offer a space in which to explore difficult thoughts and feelings — things it may be extremely hard to find an outlet for in the rest of your life. Rather than dishing out standard advice or solutions, we will think deeply about the causes of your unhappiness, and we will work together to build your own solution.”
