About Laura

Laura Carroll works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide a respectful, person-focused approach. Laura aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous or unsure.

Laura listens with attention and without judgement. She starts by asking what matters most to the person in front of her and builds sessions around those priorities.

Background and approach

Many clients come with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or difficulties with relationships and intimacy, and Laura helps them name what feels most urgent. She uses client-centred methods to help people explore their own strengths and choices. This approach focuses on the person’s experience and supports them to make decisions that feel right.

Laura also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and affect current relationships and feelings. Practical concerns such as addictions, parenting pressures, career choices, ADHD, and coping with life changes are part of her work. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, and those working through LGBT issues.

Sessions can include short-term goals or longer term reflection depending on what the client wants. Laura offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to suit different needs. She encourages a collaborative pace and checks in regularly to adapt the work as things change.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Laura uses client-centred counselling to place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. This approach means sessions focus on the client’s feelings and choices, helping people build on their own strengths to face stress, anxiety, relationship worries or life changes.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeating patterns and where they might come from. This can be useful for understanding relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, persistent low mood, or responses to past trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Laura works together with each person to choose what feels most useful. She listens to what you want to achieve and adjusts the focus over time, combining short-term practical steps with deeper reflection when that suits your goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face style conversation, phone calls can be a quicker check-in or suit lower bandwidth, live chat offers more immediate back-and-forth and messaging allows shorter notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, or busy days while keeping the therapeutic process flexible.
