About Laura

Laura Nelson is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Laura focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming, such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and issues linked to neurodiversity and chronic health conditions.

Laura believes change happens step by step. She works alongside people, listening first to what matters most.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and conversational, not full of jargon. She aims to help people notice small shifts that add up to better coping and clearer choices. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods.

That lets her match techniques to each person's situation rather than using a single fixed model. Techniques might include mindfulness exercises, cognitive techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, or emotionally-focused work to improve connection and understanding. Many clients come to talk about parenting pressures, sleep problems, eating and body image, addiction and substance use, or career stress.

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse and with issues around intimacy and sexual identity. Laura pays attention to practical daily routines as well as deeper feelings. During sessions Laura aims to create space for honest conversation and steady progress.

She encourages realistic goals and offers tools that people can use between meetings. The overall focus is on helping people build coping skills and reclaim more control over everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions where motivation and meaning feel lost.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It often involves practical exercises and short tasks between sessions to build new habits and improve mood and sleep.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and patterns in close relationships. It can help people improve communication, manage intimacy struggles and reduce repeated cycles of blame or withdrawal.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can support short check-ins, written reflections and quicker access between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady, achievable steps.
