Dr Laura Major is a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of professional experience working across the NHS, charitable organisations, and private practice. She specialises in providing psychological support to children and adolescents facing a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges. Her work reflects a broad clinical background, with particular expertise in areas such as anxiety, depression, and self-esteem, as well as transitional life stages, especially supporting young adults as they navigate education, work, and personal development.
In her practice, Dr Major emphasises a compassionate, individualised approach to therapy. She aims to create a relaxed, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions. She is also happy to incorporate games such as Jenga or Kerplunk into sessions to help clients feel at ease, particularly when working with younger individuals or those who may find traditional therapeutic settings intimidating. Drawing on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed approaches, and values-based work, she tailors each intervention to suit the unique needs of the individual. Her therapeutic process typically involves collaboratively understanding a client’s difficulties and developing practical strategies to promote long-term wellbeing and resilience.
Dr Major holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych) from the University of Hertfordshire, alongside postgraduate and undergraduate qualifications in psychology. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). Through her private practice, based in Farnham and available online across the UK, she is committed to delivering high-quality, accessible psychological care in a safe and confidential setting.
