Laura Andrews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Laura

Laura Andrews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has 12 years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues with self-esteem and motivation.

She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. She invites people to talk honestly about what they are feeling. Sessions focus on real concerns and practical steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach

The first step is recognised as a brave one, and she offers steady support through it. Laura blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she listens closely and helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour.

She also uses mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches to help people manage distressing memories and strong emotions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She helps people set short-term goals and try small changes between sessions.

This can include simple breathing exercises, thought records, or practical planning to reduce stress. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, and life transitions. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, dependence or control problems, and substance use concerns.

Sessions are available online in English and can be arranged to fit different schedules. People are invited to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a suitable time.

Ways of working Laura names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Laura often uses client-centred work, which focuses on being listened to and understood. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting; it is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and some eating or sleeping problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first few sessions. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on skills practice, trauma-focused work, or reflective conversations based on the situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins and people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family and travel commitments.
