Practical, collaborative therapy for everyday challenges
About Laura
Laura Nelson is a BACP member who works from the United Kingdom. She brings five years of professional experience supporting people with common life pressures and emotional struggles. Her style is calm and down-to-earth.
She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone worried or unsure about therapy. Laura helps people dealing with stress and anxiety as well as depression and mood difficulties such as bipolar. She supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, and people working through intimacy or relationship concerns.
Background and approach
She also works with issues around addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem and body image. Her practice includes additional focus areas such as communication problems, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, chronic illness and blended family issues. She can assist with attachment concerns, feelings of abandonment, codependency and control issues.
Laura has a particular interest in supporting people affected by neurodiversity and long-term health conditions, and she also offers support around LGBT matters. In session she uses an integrative approach drawing on several methods to suit each person. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural tools, emotionally focused work and mindfulness.
Sessions tend to centre on clear steps, practical strategies and space to make sense of difficult feelings. People who choose Laura often want straightforward, collaborative help that fits real life. She invites clients to set goals together and to try approaches that feel useful for their situation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that matter to them. It is often used for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and some relationship problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions and aims to build understanding and self-directed change.Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the client, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. This collaborative way helps people pick approaches that feel right for their situation and day-to-day life.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick updates, reflective writing or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health demands while using the approaches described above.
