About Laura
Laura Nelson is a counsellor and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She practises in the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also works with issues linked to ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and LGBT-related challenges.
She has a particular interest in supporting people affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity, including carers.
Background and approach
Laura uses an integrative approach, drawing on methods that suit each person rather than using a single fixed model. This means sessions focus on what feels most useful for the person in front of her. In sessions she aims to reduce the everyday impact of problems so people can move towards the life they want.
Practical tools and simple exercises are offered alongside space to talk and make sense of difficult feelings. She helps people build coping skills and clearer ways to manage stress and mood. Laura describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She will work with each person to set realistic goals and check progress along the way. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step manageable. Her clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centred work and Mindfulness-based methods.
Sessions are delivered in English and she does not take international clients.

Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, care duties or busy days, and it can allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also reduce travel time and help people keep continuity when life is changing. Registered or accredited professionals who offer online appointments aim to adapt their tools so sessions remain focused and practical.
