About Laura

Dr. Laura Stoops helps people feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by change, or stuck after difficult experiences. She supports those dealing with stress, relationship or intimacy worries, addiction, grief, sleep or eating struggles, and trauma and abuse.

People also come to her for help with self‑esteem, career pressure, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She works in a straightforward, person-centred way. Sessions begin with a chance to talk about what matters most.

Background and approach

Laura listens without judgement and aims to understand each person’s viewpoint before suggesting a way forward. Her practice combines approaches to match individual needs. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting space, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns that cause distress, and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing themes that influence current life.

Mindfulness tools are also available to help with stress and anxiety. Laura trained and practises in the United Kingdom and holds the BACP and NCPS credentials. She has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of day-to-day and complex concerns.

Sessions can be paced to suit how quickly someone wants to make changes. People who choose her can expect practical conversations, simple strategies to try between sessions, and reflective work that looks at deeper patterns. Her style is calm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel clearer and more able to manage whatever brought them to therapy.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person is heard. It helps people who need a steady listening ear and support to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses simple exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful habits, and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people have conversations that feel closest to in-person work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera is hard. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or times when written reflection helps most. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
