About Laura
Laura Ferguson is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and family problems. She also helps those facing LGBTQ-related concerns, trauma and issues with self-esteem and confidence.
Laura takes a straightforward, respectful approach. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions aim to be practical and rooted in everyday concerns, whether that means problem-solving, making sense of feelings, or planning small steps forward.
Background and approach
In practice she draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural tools and motivational techniques. That means there is space to talk openly while also trying small, manageable changes between sessions. The work can include looking at patterns in relationships, testing out new coping strategies, or talking through what matters most to you.
Her background includes work in independent practice, charity settings and custodial environments. That variety has shaped a down-to-earth style that balances listening with focused support. Laura aims to help people feel clearer about their choices and more able to manage difficult moments.
People who choose to work with Laura usually want practical help and a calm space to think. She offers collaborative, goal-oriented sessions that respect each person’s pace and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and listens. It helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often involves trying small experiments or new coping skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. That choice can be reviewed as progress is made and things change.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep continuity between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to an online setting while keeping the focus practical and collaborative.
