About Laurie

Laurie Falconer is a counsellor and a BACP member who aims to make beginning therapy straightforward and calm. She works with people feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling after loss or big life changes. Laurie also supports those facing relationship strain, difficulties with self-esteem, addiction issues, eating concerns, anger, career questions and trauma-related problems.

She trained to MSc level in Counselling and Psychotherapy, gaining a Distinction at the University of Strathclyde.

Background and approach

Laurie has four years of clinical experience and has recently qualified as a clinical counselling supervisor. She is also studying Psychology with the Open University to keep developing her knowledge. Laurie adopts a person-centred way of working that starts from the belief that each person knows their life best.

Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the person, and helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and to build trust over time. Practical issues are considered alongside emotional work, so sessions might include looking at day-to-day coping, routines, and decisions that make life feel more manageable.

Laurie uses straightforward language and aims to make therapy accessible for people new to counselling. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling is done through a short matching questionnaire and booking process.

Approaches and how online therapy fits your life

Laurie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the person and their experience. A person-centred approach means the conversation is guided by the clients priorities, with the therapist offering attentive listening and reflection to help clarify feelings and choices. This approach is useful for stress, bereavement, relationship strain and general low mood.

Alongside person-centred work, Laurie uses practical, problem-focused conversations to look at coping and daily routines. These sessions can involve identifying small changes, experimenting with different ways of responding, and building new habits that reduce anxiety or improve mood. This practical work can suit people navigating life transitions, work stress or addiction-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Laurie will discuss options with each person, drawing on their goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide what to try first and adapt as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face contact when that is helpful, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat suit on-the-go updates or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
