Wellbeing Practitioner
Working alongside Applause for Thought, I provide on-set mental health and wellbeing support to productions and production offices.
My approach is proactive & preventative, aiming to support cast and crew in building resilience to stress and navigating challenges. I feel passionately that wellbeing support should be available to all throughout the production period when stress levels are often high, burnout can strike, and content might trigger past trauma and challenging emotions.
As a creative myself and someone who has spent years working closely with actors, I understand that there is a real need for work like this in this space.
My support includes group workshops (centred around learning tools for self-regulation), regular visits to set and 1-1 sessions for all involved. Additionally I read scripts prior to the start of production and have regular checks ins with the team to ensure that everything is running smoothly.
When working on-set as a practitioner, I seek to provide the highest level of wellbeing support to all cast and crew and love to feel that I am a consistent presence throughout and an integral part of the team. This ensures that everyone feels held and that they have a safe space to turn to, if required.
In addition to my 1-1 practice, I also run workshops in schools and businesses. My greatest mission is to share this transformative work as widely as possible.
I’m very passionate about empowering people to understand their unique nervous system and supporting them to proactively nurture their wellbeing so they can cultivate resilience, maintain balance, and avoid reaching the point of burnout or illness, as I once did.
Workshops I offer:
- Preventing Burnout
- Building Resilience to Stress
- Nervous System / Emotional Regulation
- Vagus Nerve Masterclass
- Healing from Mind Body Symptoms

Laura came to us at a crucial time, just before our Year 11 and Year 13 pupils began their exam season. Her sessions on managing stress and anxiety were not only timely but exceptionally delivered. She provided our pupils with practical, effective strategies to calm their inner selves and navigate the pressures of exams, all while creating a safe and open space for them to explore these techniques for themselves.
In today’s fast-paced, often overwhelming world, Laura brought a calm, compassionate presence that our pupils truly connected with. Her willingness to share her own experiences made her sessions all the more powerful and relatable. The feedback from pupils has been overwhelmingly positive—they walked away feeling empowered and supported.
I have no doubt many of them will continue to reach out to Laura in the future, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She is a wonder!
