Welcome to
Oasis Psychology

I would like to take a moment to express our appreciation and gratitude to yourself. As a family, and having fostered one of the most complex and traumatised little girls ever, we, honestly could not have got through this last 18 months without you and your continued support and guidance.

You were always their to listen, explain and guide us and because of you we have got through the hardest part and we are now seeing glimmers of hope and a more positive future.

Your guidance, knowledge and teaching in our therapy sessions have been the glue that has held us all together and the strategies put in place with the therapeutic parenting alongside the PACE model has had such a positive impact

A heartfelt Thank You.

As a child care social worker, I referred a single carer of a child with complex developmental trauma to Dr Laura Bennett for assessment and support.

Dr Laura Bennett gained an understanding of the child’s history and current needs from her family and the professionals who were supporting her.

Parenting sessions using a dyadic approach and screening for ASD were completed by Dr Bennett through both face-to-face and online sessions, with a final report produced.

I can highly recommend Dr Laura Bennett for her professional, yet gentle and calm approach.

I have had the privilege of working with Laura over the past 2.5 years. Laura has supported and helped us so much with caring and therapeutically parenting our very complex little boy.

Laura is incredibly knowledgeable and we have appreciated her advice, strategies, suggestions and time she has offered us and other professionals who have been supporting our little boy and ourselves. Laura has always listened to our worries and thoughts and has understood not only the needs of our child but has also considered our needs, she has supported us to support and help our child in so many ways.

Without Laura’s expert advice and support we would not have managed all we have had to do, as well as dealing with a pandemic. Laura is such an easy person to talk to and share with and you never feel judged or anxious about sharing with her.

I would highly recommend Laura.

Laura worked with me to deliver advice to an education provision regarding a young person to help secure their school placement. She has worked with foster carers to make sure they have a better understanding of the young people they look after, to help make positive changes for the young person regarding soiling/ attachment and relationships. Laura’s advice, assessments and joint working has been invaluable to the young people and foster carers I work with.

Thank you for the workshop opportunity and the valuable information it provided. 

I thought it was a valuable, clearly put, and essential course. I have lots to think about and to try as an outcome.

I just wanted to say that it was an absolute pleasure working with you, I admired your knowledge, skills and your thorough assessment with the family which was referred to you. I am confident that your assessment findings will benefit the young person now and also in the future.

Having supervision with Laura has been calming, grounding and motivating all at once. I am self employed and at times that can feel exposing and vulnerable. Since beginning supervision with Laura I feel like I have an ally who helps me detangle what is happening for my clients and come up with clearer plans to support them. Laura is caring and creates a really supportive and non-judgemental environment. I feel like I can safely explore anything that is coming up for me as well as the children, families and professionals I work with. She has a huge amount of professional knowledge I can draw on, which she wears very lightly, making complicated ideas and theories feel accessible and pragmatic. I always come out of supervision feeling like I have released a really deep breath and planted my feet firmly back on the ground.
