Laura Brown
Supportive counsellor for anxiety and life changes
About Laura
Laura Brown is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and focuses on practical ways to make life feel more manageable. She aims to meet people with respect, sensitivity and compassion from the first conversation.
She works with stress, anxiety and depression and helps people facing grief or major life changes. Eating and body image concerns are included alongside addictions and sleep problems.
Background and approach
Laura also supports people coping with career challenges and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative and flexible. She adapts conversations and goals to suit each person rather than applying a fixed formula.
Sessions are focused on what is most useful now and on small steps that build confidence. Laura draws on client-centred ways of working to create a listening space where clients feel heard. Cognitive behavioural ideas help with patterns of thinking and practical problem solving.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used for grounding and for setting clear, achievable goals. If someone is unsure where to begin she will help identify priorities and suggest simple first actions. She encourages realistic goals and checks progress regularly.
The aim is steady, practical change that fits into everyday life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work. It means sessions begin with careful listening and follow the client's pace, focusing on what matters most to them. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and life choices.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviours, which can reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust the plan when needed. This collaborative process helps identify what works best for each person over time.
Online therapy offers options that suit different needs and schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and have fuller conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching style support or for people who prefer writing things down. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity between sessions.
