Background and approach
Laura uses approaches that centre the client's experience and practical tools to help with stress, anxiety, depression and difficulties that come from trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, body image and career strain. Sessions emphasise listening and collaboration.
Laura uses person-centred techniques alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based ways of working to help people name emotions and build coping skills. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when those approaches suit the person's aims. People often come to her for help with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Laura can also assist with complex topics such as attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues, chronic pain or long-term illness, and caregiver stress. She offers support to LGBT people and works with matters around communication, commitment and control issues.

How these approaches work online
Laura blends person-centred counselling with emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based methods. Person-centred work means the counsellor follows the client's lead, listens closely and helps the person set the pace and focus for sessions. Emotionally-focused approaches aim to help people identify and name their feelings and how those feelings affect relationships and behaviour. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can reduce stress and improve coping in hard moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Laura will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those aims. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify particular online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people engage when they find it easier to reflect with guidance from a distance. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt exercises and grounding practices so they work well in an online setting.
