About Laura

Laura Brown is a counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She carries a BACP credential, and she aims to offer a respectful, sensitive approach to each person who reaches out. She speaks English and works with people from different places, including international clients.

She helps people manage stress and anxiety, and supports those facing depression or career uncertainty. Eating and body image concerns are also areas she addresses.

Background and approach

Trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and compassion fatigue are among the issues she commonly talks through with clients. Sessions are shaped around the individual. Conversations and plans are adapted to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.

She uses practical techniques alongside listening, so people leave with things to try between sessions. Her work includes short-term, goal-focused ideas and longer conversations when needed. She draws on approaches such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and make changes.

Laura aims to create a clear path forward when life feels overwhelming. She supports practical problem solving, emotional coping, and rebuilding routines like sleep and daily structure. If someone needs help making a first step, she guides them through simple next actions.

People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, chronic illness or pain, and relationship fallout such as divorce and separation. Laura also addresses substance and alcohol concerns, hoarding, fertility and fatherhood issues where relevant.

How Laura blends practical approaches in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects back what someone says and helps them make sense of their feelings, which can be useful for grief, trauma and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful habits, often used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses, so plans can change when something else would work better.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, journalling-style exchanges or when writing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit sessions around work, care duties or travel without losing continuity of care.
