Meet Laura Laidlaw | MA (Honours) | RPC (CCC) Registered Professional Counsellor

In-person in Calgary & Virtual Across Canada

Are you constantly second-guessing yourself, feeling trapped in toxic patterns, or silently battling food, body image, or self-worth struggles?

I specialize in helping people recover from substance use (including eating disorders, and gambling), narcissistic abuse, and deep-rooted trauma. Whether you're stuck in cycles of emotional manipulation, trauma responses, or disordered eating, you’re not broken — you’re carrying pain that deserves attention, validation, and healing.

Together, we’ll untangle the shame, silence, and self-doubt so you can reconnect with your truth and build a life that feels safe, whole, and yours again.

Therapy with me is honest and grounding.

I'll help you face difficult truths with kindness while guiding you toward powerful personal breakthroughs.

Outside the therapy room…

I’m a proud pet parent!

You Don’t Have to Stay Silent, Stuck or Small.

Therapy with me is a safe, non-judgmental space where we’ll work together to help you rebuild trust in yourself, your body, and your voice.

Everyone’s journey is unique—and sometimes, that path includes emotional pain, uncertainty, or patterns that are difficult to break on our own. I believe that seeking help is not a weakness—it’s a sign of strength and self-awareness.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I’m committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, seen, and supported. Whether you're struggling with eating disorders, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, trauma, or simply navigating a major life transition, my role is to walk alongside you and help you uncover lasting tools for healing.

Together, we’ll create realistic, empowering goals that are meaningful to your life—not just short-term fixes. Using an integrative, evidence-based approach, I tailor each session to your needs, drawing from tools that support emotional resilience, self-acceptance, and healthy coping strategies.

My hope is that our work together brings you not only relief, but a renewed sense of hope, clarity, and direction in your personal journey.

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy traveling, painting, and spending time in nature with my three beloved dogs. These moments remind me of the importance of balance, joy, and presence—values I also bring into my therapeutic work.

If you're ready to take that next step, I invite you to book a free 30-minute consultation. Let’s explore what healing could look like for you.
