About Laura

Laura trained and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly known as BACP.

Background and approach

She has around 10 years of experience working in charities and organisations across the United Kingdom. That background means she has seen a wide range of everyday struggles and practical ways to approach them. Her style is warm and interactive.

Sessions are a chance to talk openly with a non-judgemental listener and to look at what matters most to you. She uses ideas from humanistic and psychodynamic approaches to help people understand patterns and feelings. In the first meetings she will ask about your goals and how you would like to work.

Together you will agree on practical steps and ways of checking progress. The focus is on small, realistic changes that fit your life. Laura aims to support people to feel more in control and able to make choices.

She encourages honest conversation and practical problem solving. If someone is ready to take a step towards change, she offers steady support to get started.

Approaches and online therapy options

Laura works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make sense of difficult feelings and change unhelpful patterns. Humanistic approaches focus on the person in the room, helping them to feel heard and to build self-understanding and self-worth. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and past experiences to see how they affect current feelings and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods suited to your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments can be made as you progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls provide face-to-face contact when that helps deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need brief, frequent support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
