Welcome
Hi, I'm Laura McDermott — Astrologer & Esoteric Psychologist
Astrology should give you more than labels. It should help you understand the pattern, what sits underneath it and what you can do next.
I combine 14 years of chart reading with an MSc in Psychology to bring clarity to identity, relationships, purpose and change — in language you can actually use.
Services

The chart shows the pattern. Psychology helps us understand what sits underneath it.
I’ve spent more than 14 years reading charts, but I have never believed astrology should reduce people to a label. I see a chart as a map: a way to recognise the patterns shaping your identity, relationships, work and choices as well as your potential.
My approach is also informed by an MSc in Psychology and 15 years working in talent and career development. That experience taught me to look beyond the obvious problem and ask what may be driving it.
Today, I bring astrology, psychology and Human Design together in a practical and grounded way. We explore what is genuinely true for you, what may have become a survival pattern, and what you can choose to do next. I’ll help you understand yourself well enough to decide what comes next.
Testimonials
What can I say, WOW! It's as you've known me personally all my life. You see me and through me. It made me cry of how truthful it is to who I am. It's a lot of recognising of oneself — at the same time liberating, because I finally put the finger on it. What I sense but couldn't understand. It's like seeing myself but now from the outside.
Laura is the real deal. I do admit I am still a bit of a skeptic when it comes to astrology readings so I try to provide as little information as possible and yet Laura was still able to depict intimate details about my relationship that never was disclosed. Above all, she gave me a sense of clarity and ease that I was searching for. That alone is priceless.
Laura is exceptional—professional, deeply intuitive and knowledgeable. I left our Astrology Business Session with clear direction on my purpose and accepted a path I had been avoiding because of fear. Laura helped me understand where that fear was coming from. After our session, I changed my title and launched my first online workshop since 2020—and sales have been easy. I’ve felt a deep sense of peace and success since accepting my path.
