Hi there! 

My name is Laura and I am the founder of Bettyoucan (BYC). 

I love nature, trying new things and musical theatre (as both a performer and spectator).

After starting as a Personal Trainer, to support me whilst acting, I saw the negative sides of the health and fitness industry and the detrimental affects it was having on people; projecting unrealistic expectations and linking worth to aesthetic and weight. This narrative makes my blood boil, and I was saddened by the realisation that the majority of us don’t feel good in our own bodies and spend vast amounts of our lives focusing on criticising and punishing our body rather than living our lives to the fullest. This is something that I have also done in my personal life; growing up on faddy diets and comparing myself to those around me, thinking I needed to be smaller in order to be worthy.

Due to my own personal experiences, and the experiences I have had as a professional in both the health and fitness, and entertainment industries, I am passionate about helping people break free from the BS expectations and pressures of society and instead cultivate a life that prioritises their own health and happiness. I aim to help people filter out what stuff is theirs and what is just noise from both the companies trying to make money off their insecurities (insecurities that the companies themselves have probably created to then make money off) and/or projections from other people that have their own issues/stuff to work through.

This lead me to pursue accreditation in Counselling and Psychotherapy, so I could help people on a deeper level.

Whist I specialise in issues relating to body image, disordered eating and low-self worth, I also offer therapy for a vast amount of presenting issues; inc anxiety, depression, grief and more.

So whether you need coaching, counselling or a hybrid of both, we can work together to unstick you from where you are and get you to where you want to be. 

Just remember: You ARE worth it!
