About Laura

Laura Ferguson is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, identity questions related to LGBT issues, and work or career strain.

She works from a person-centred viewpoint, believing that clients know their story best. Sessions focus on uncovering strengths and practical steps people can take to feel steadier.

Background and approach

She encourages small, manageable changes and offers gentle challenge when helpful. Laura uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours.

Psychodynamic ideas help look at recurring patterns that may come from past experiences. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make a change but feel stuck. She has worked in independent practice, charities, and custodial settings.

That variety has shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person's situation. Sessions aim to be straightforward, warm and focused on what matters now. People who choose to work with Laura typically want practical ways to manage feelings and stronger self-understanding.

She invites clients to set clear goals and to review progress together as therapy continues.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy

Laura combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to meet different needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It helps when someone needs to feel understood and to build confidence in their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is more hands-on and looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact; it is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that feel most useful. The plan can change as therapy progresses so it stays relevant to what the person needs in the moment.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel close to an in-person meeting while fitting around work or family life. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, timely support between sessions, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent without long travel or scheduling barriers.
