How her approaches translate to online work
Laura uses client-centred counselling to create space for people to tell their story without pressure. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of their feelings and priorities.She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and coping with difficult situations by teaching practical strategies.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early and important relationships affect current patterns. This can be useful for intimacy-related issues, relationship struggles and longstanding ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss options and agree a plan based on a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
