Welcome to London Counselling and Consultancy - Helping individuals, families, and organisations overcome alcohol and substance misuse, behavioural addictions, trauma, and mental health challenges. Founded by Laura Smart, LCC offers compassionate, evidence-based support through counselling, therapy, training, and consultancy services. Whether you're looking for personal healing or professional guidance, our trauma-informed approach puts your well-being first.

I’m Laura Smart, a qualified Trauma-Informed Practitioner and experienced counsellor. I understand how trauma shapes mental health and often leads to addictions, stress, and unhealthy behaviours and coping patterns. I offer compassionate, evidence-based care in a safe, non-judgmental space for healing and personal growth.

After years working in the charity sector, managing teams and services, creating training programmes, and supporting vulnerable groups, I founded London Counselling and Consultancy to align my professional and lived experience with my passion: helping people recover from trauma, addictions, and poor mental health.

I specialise in one-to-one counselling, trauma-informed care and recovery, group therapy, inner child work, aftercare, and online recovery programmes. My approach is grounded in Gestalt, CBT, REBT, and DBT frameworks. In addition to private therapy, I also work with organisations, creating and delivering therapeutic and psychoeducational training, courses, and workshops. My consultancy supports charities, treatment centres, schools, housing services, prisons, and more,: offering training, workshops, resources, toolkits and workbooks, and tailored support in person and online.

Alongside my consultancy and private practice in London, I am based online globally and in several residential rehabilitation treatment centres in the UK, providing 1-2-1 therapy, training, psychoeducational group work, online groups and courses, and aftercare programmes. I am trained and influenced by several approaches to therapy, such as Gestalt (working with the whole body, mind, and spirit), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy), Inner Child Therapy and TIC (Trauma-informed Care) and trauma recovery., 12 Step Therory and SMART Recovery. 

I also guide individuals and families through the treatment journey, including rehab planning and ongoing aftercare support, because long-term recovery needs structure, connection, and care. I am passionate about people's emotional well-being and recovery and breaking down the stigma attached to mental health, addictions and trauma.
