Meet Laura Storey

Your Certified Focusing Professional & Trainer

I understand your desire to listen to your whole self and thrive. But life can be demanding. Stress, mental clutter, and emotional overwhelm pile up—and before we know it, our attention or emotions get hijacked. We’re left feeling trapped, triggered, and exhausted, unable to focus or move forward with clarity.

 

​You deserve support and tools to live a fulfilling life. That’s why I teach Focusing—a transformative inner-awareness practice developed by Eugene Gendlin, Ph.D. With Focusing, you’ll learn how to slow down, develop presence, and access the quiet wisdom of your felt-sense to discover your next right step.

In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, Focusing helps you turn inward—gently with curiosity. It helps regulate the nervous system and build the inner muscles needed for clarity and calm—even in the midst of messy challenges.


For over 13 years, I’ve supported hundreds of individuals in more than 25 countries. I care deeply about emotional and spiritual well-being. I’m a Certified Yoga Teacher and Meditation Instructor, and I’m currently completing my Master’s degree to become a registered psychotherapist, expanding my capacity to support emotional, psychological, spiritual, and existential healing.

​​

Here’s how it works:

  1. Start with a free consultation

  2. Reconnect with your inner knowing

  3. Thrive by embracing meaningful change
     

By cultivating mind-body awareness, you can experience lasting transformation and move forward in the ways your life needs most.

I am a BFA-recognised Focusing Practitioner, a Professional Member of The International Focusing Institute (TIFI) and the British Focusing Association, and I facilitate workshops through TIFI. I’m preparing to begin a Coordinator-in-Training (CiT) certification with TIFI, which will enable me to certify future Focusing professionals and trainers. Specialising in Inner Relationship Focusing, I have studied BioSpiritual Focusing and Gendlin’s classic 6-Step Focusing. I offer one-to-one sessions and courses–from beginner to advanced–designed to meet you wherever you are on your Focusing journey.

SUCCESS STORIES

Laura Storey

                             

I used to suffer from feeling overwhelmed and anxious most of the time. I found myself reacting to what was going on around me. I was so enmeshed in my emotions that I didn't even recognize my frustration and anger. I tried other modalities for years, but I still felt powerless and alone. Everything changed when I found Focusing with Laura and the process of gently and compassionately being with what was inside me. Laura is a respectful and capable Focusing guide. She consistently holds a safe place for anything inside me that needs to be acknowledged. With Laura, I can consciously process not only painful emotions but uncover much joy and excitement. Now I feel calmer and less alone. The Focusing process has led to more self-compassion, respect and trust in myself.

- J. S. Canada

            

I was experiencing an uncomfortable sensation in my body that would never go away. Focusing was a different approach by tending to it with  curiosity. Working with Laura made my nervous system settle down and take a big breath of relief. Laura tailored each session to me.  I  felt seen, heard and tended to. We were able to find another feeling behind the uncomfortable sensation. It opened up with a solution. Instead of believing the uncomfortable sensation would never go away, I now live with inner knowing, trust and possibility. This skill is a game-changer in life. I highly recommend Laura.
