I have been working with Laura for a few weeks now and I already feel more settled. The acute phase has passed and I am now looking toward the steady state support so that I can continue to work on my ay to day anxieties. Laura has been instrumental in providing me direction and another view point on the issues I have raised. A steady and confident operator it is a pleasure to work with Laura.
More about Laura
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
Welcome, I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I have been a therapist for about 10 years. I have worked in charities and organisations with a range of clients in different ages and presenting problems. I have worked with people who have concerns like anxiety, depression, family and relationship problems, abuse, and more.
My therapy style is supportive and interactive. I provide a safe space for you to talk openly with a trusted individual who will not judge you, an environment for you to explore what is happening for you, any emotions that you have, and discuss what you feel is the next step. My approach combines humanistic and psychodynamic theory to support you. We will talk through what you want from the sessions and how we can work together.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
Thanks for taking the time to find out more about me. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
