Laura Hancock has been honored as the Best Intuitive Healing Practitioner in the UK for 2025 by the Evergreen Awards, recognizing her innovative approach that merges traditional psychotherapy with holistic healing methods.
With a Ph.D. in Psychology and accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Hancock has developed a distinctive methodology that incorporates positive psychology principles, mindfulness, and what she terms “psycho-spiritual” and “energy somatic” practices.
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Laura and I highly recommend her to anyone who is on a journey of self-discovery,” said a senior technology leader at Expedia who sought Hancock’s help during a challenging period. “Laura is a gentle, warm, and positive person full of empathy and love, with whom I connected right away.”
At the core of Hancock’s approach is the belief that clients possess the inherent wisdom needed for their own healing. Rather than directing clients, she creates an environment where individuals can explore their emotional landscape with guidance that empowers them to access their inner resources.
A global health and wellbeing manager at BP who worked with Hancock shared: “Her ability to listen deeply and provide insightful guidance has been transformative. Her expertise in wellbeing management is evident in the practical strategies and tools she offered, which have empowered me to achieve a healthier and more balanced life.”
Hancock’s practice focuses on addressing emotional blockages that often manifest physically, working with the mind-body connection to promote comprehensive healing. This approach has attracted professionals from companies including Apple, Expedia, BP, and Quantus.
“The combination of psycho-spiritual psychotherapy and energy somatic therapies in Laura’s approach has improved both my mental and physical well-being,” reported a technology operative from Apple. “It’s something I haven’t seen in years of therapy; this approach is layered and meaningful.”
Hancock’s methodology appears particularly effective for professionals seeking more than conventional therapy can offer. By helping clients tap into their inner wisdom while addressing emotional blockages, she equips individuals with tools for long-term emotional resilience and self-awareness.
This recent honor adds to Hancock’s growing list of accolades, which includes the Holistic Therapist of the Year award from BABTAC in 2015 and being named a Specialist Therapist of the Year finalist in 2016. Her recognition signals a growing acceptance of integrated approaches to mental health in the mainstream therapeutic community.
As mental health gains prominence in public discourse, practitioners like Hancock are contributing to a paradigm shift in how we approach psychological wellbeing. Her work represents a bridge between conventional methods and holistic healing practices, offering new pathways for those seeking comprehensive solutions to the complex mental health challenges of modern life.
