About Laura

Background and approach
She keeps sessions focused and collaborative, helping clients set realistic steps to feel steadier and more able to cope. Her approach is person-centred and attachment-aware, so conversations look at how early experiences and current patterns affect day-to-day life. Cognitive strategies are used when helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and small habits.
Emotion-focused work is offered to help people process difficult feelings such as grief and loss. Laura often supports people managing parenting pressures and the life changes that come with caring responsibilities. She also addresses sleep difficulties, eating concerns, anger and challenges linked to neurodiversity or chronic illness.
Sessions aim to be practical, with tools to use between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients. Appointments can be arranged by following the platform start process and completing the short matching questionnaire.
Laura welcomes honest conversations about goals and what a helpful next step looks like.

How Laura’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses, and helps people notice and change how they relate to others and themselves. It can be useful for intimacy worries, attachment issues and the stress of parenting. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions, using empathic listening to build understanding and confidence so clients can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and low mood, offering practical steps to try between sessions.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the nature of the problem, then agree a flexible plan that may draw on more than one approach. This is a collaborative process that adapts as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and day-to-day life.
