Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Laura offers practical ways to manage symptoms and to try new patterns of thinking and behaving. In her work she combines open listening with approaches that look at thoughts, feelings and past experiences.
That mix allows for short-term problem solving and deeper reflection on recurring patterns. She adapts her style to what someone needs in the moment. Laura has practised in personal settings, charities and custodial environments.
Her background gives her experience with complex personal and interpersonal problems, including blended family issues, infidelity and isolation. She draws on cognitive and relational tools to help people make meaningful changes. People seeking support can expect clear, calm sessions that aim to build confidence and reduce overwhelm.
Laura encourages small, manageable steps and reflects on progress together. The focus is on realistic goals and steady movement forward.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person build self-awareness and confidence. It is useful for feelings of low self-worth, life transitions and finding direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop new ways of coping. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression and obsessive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try different techniques and adjust based on the person's goals and preferences. That means sessions can be brief and focused or more exploratory, depending on what is needed.
Online therapy with this counsellor uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
