About Laura

Laura Ward is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and helps people who are struggling with self-esteem and motivation. Laura aims to meet clients where they are and supports them at a pace that feels manageable.

Her approach is warm and empathic. Sessions focus on understanding how life events and family patterns shape thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

She helps people talk through emotional abuse, grief, and challenges to connection and identity. Laura uses conversations and practical techniques to build self-awareness and resilience. She draws on Client-Centred ideas to create a non-judgemental space and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools to address unhelpful thinking.

Emotionally-Focused ideas shape work on relationship wounds and attachment issues. She also supports parents and individuals affected by ADHD and autism with compassionate, practical guidance. Additional focus areas include anger, addiction, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and relationship breakdown.

Laura helps people with career shifts, parenting pressures, and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to strengthen self-compassion and invite small, manageable steps toward change. Laura encourages clients to identify their own strengths and to take an active role in setting goals.

The process is collaborative, paced to each person, and centred on tangible progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and gain self-understanding, which helps with low self-esteem, grief and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In straightforward sessions clients learn practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for anxiety, depression and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand attachment and emotional patterns that affect relationships. It can be useful when working through hurt, abandonment fears and difficulties with connection.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person, and adapt the plan as progress is made. Clients are involved in deciding what feels most helpful.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
