Laurie Castelli

Human Givens psychotherapist and coach

 

Offering 1 to 1 for individuals, and emotional intelligence training for organisations.

I am a London based psychotherapist, trainer & coach, and I believe we all have the ability to lead a more fulfilling life by improving our emotional and psychological well-being.

We live in stressful times, sometimes life’s struggles can overwhelm us, and we need a little help to move forward. Perhaps we feel an underlying unease that is difficult to define. Or it might simply be a sense that we have more to offer, that something is holding us back from being our best selves.

Using the powerful principles of Human Givens therapy, I work with individuals and organisations to undo negative unconscious patterns, unlock innate resources, and aim quickly to get life unstuck, and back on a positive footing.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials
Francesca, mother, entrepreneur & student

“I literally bumped into Laurie at a moment in my life that needed massive change and help. I had been attending all sorts of psychotherapy treatments for years, since I was 15, as I had massive traumas throughout my life which at this point have left me with PTSD, depression and anxiety. When I met Laurie, I had pretty much given up on therapy. I can only describe what happened in the first session as Laurie pulling me out of a dark hole of isolation and re-instating me to life. After only 4 sessions I had already started taking better care of myself, performing better at my job, and being more present with my family. Most importantly, I feel like I have been healing for real.”

Allan, Company Director

“I have recommended Laurie to friends and family who are benefitting from his services already. Laurie's sessions are calm, attentive, never rushed and every time I leave I feel I got extremely high value for my money. I highly recommend Laurie for people of any walk of life, but especially high professionals who are struggling with their work-life balance and who wish to perform better. His holistic approach is of top notch quality and I cannot recommend him enough.”

Adam, 30

“After only a few sessions with Laurie, for the first time I feel I have a way out of my anxiety.”

Mal, PTSD sufferer, 35

“The first session left me feeling a lightness I haven’t experienced since I was a small child.”
