Background and approach
Clients can expect a calm space to talk through worries and to set clear, workable goals. Laura draws on several practical approaches to make therapy useful day to day. She uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, helps by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing more helpful ways of coping. She also uses mindfulness to build simple, present-moment skills and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels low. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.
Early meetings usually look at what the client hopes to change and small steps they can try between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted to fit real life. People can work with Laura online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
International clients who speak English are supported. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit individual needs.

Sessions & fees
How these approaches work online
Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's priorities and to make sessions feel comfortable and respectful. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to look at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, low mood and some addiction-related patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what methods feel most helpful. Together they will try out techniques, review what helps, and adapt the plan as needed to fit daily life and changing priorities.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want flexible timing. These options increase accessibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care across locations.
