About Laura

Laura Edwards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or trauma. She speaks plainly and works with clients to find practical ways forward. Laura uses straightforward talk and steady support so people can feel understood and start making changes.

With seven years of experience, Laura draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She listens first and then works alongside clients to pick methods that fit their needs.

Background and approach

This could mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or practising skills to manage difficult emotions. Clients often come with problems such as low mood, relationship issues, addictive behaviours, sleep or eating difficulties, and challenges linked to parenting or caregiving. Laura also supports people facing identity questions, compassion fatigue, chronic health issues, and complex trauma and abuse.

She recognises the impact of life transitions and can help people navigate change step by step. Laura is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions from the United Kingdom and works with international clients in English.

Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and schedules. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Laura emphasises collaboration and practical steps, helping people build on their strengths while addressing painful or confusing experiences.

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 therapeutic approaches work online

Laura often combines Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred work depending on the person's needs. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful events and reduce their everyday impact through paced, stabilising steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred therapy prioritises the person's own perspective and pace, offering empathic listening and support so people can explore what matters most to them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they review progress and adapt the way they work so it fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions make it easier to access regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when movement is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility for people who prefer writing or need quick access between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and maintain continuity when life changes.
