About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred approach to help people find more clarity and calm. She works from acceptance and empathy, giving space for clients to explore what matters to them. Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of practice experience.
In sessions she focuses on everyday difficulties such as anxiety, stress and low mood. She also supports people facing trauma, abuse, grief, addictions and parenting concerns.
Background and approach
Laura pays attention to identity and relationship struggles, and to how life changes can affect wellbeing. Her work often blends person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment theory. This mix helps people notice patterns, try new responses and build more helpful routines.
Mindfulness techniques are used when they suit the person’s goals. Laura speaks English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian, which she brings into sessions when preferred. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace and decide which issues to address first.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle reflection and practical suggestions when useful. The focus is on what helps the individual move through stress, improve sleep and daily functioning, and feel steadier while navigating change.

Approach-driven online therapy that adapts to your needs
Laura uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on empathy, active listening and supporting people to make sense of their feelings. This approach helps people feel understood and take things at their own pace while making changes they want.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and unhelpful routines by offering practical steps and small experiments to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This makes it easier to adjust the style of work as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity while working on emotional concerns.
