Background and approach
Her sessions are person-centred and adaptable. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside other perspectives, to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Conversations are framed around what a person wants to change and what feels manageable for them.
Sessions are available by video call, telephone, live chat or text messaging, which suits people with different schedules and communication preferences. She offers short-term focused work and longer-term counselling depending on a person’s needs. Laura aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where practical ideas meet listening.
She helps people break problems down into small steps and builds on what is already working for them.

How CBT and practical counselling work online
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot thought and behaviour patterns that feed stress and anxiety. CBT involves trying small experiments and learning new ways to respond, which can help with low mood, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms and relationship patterns.Alongside CBT, she works in a person-centred way that focuses on what matters most to the individual. That means sessions are shaped by a person’s goals and what feels manageable, not a fixed programme. The therapist and client decide together what approach fits best as work progresses.
Online sessions can be set up as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing.
Using online formats means therapy can fit around work, parenting and other commitments, and it makes it easier to keep continuity when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks and worksheets for remote formats so progress continues between sessions.
