She is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers straightforward, compassionate support for issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and parenting concerns.

Background and approach
She is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. She takes part in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to keep her practice current. In sessions Laura draws on several counselling approaches and adapts them to each person.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside person-centred and psychodynamic ideas, to help people understand thoughts, feelings and patterns. The work can include noticing unhelpful thinking, trying different behaviours and reflecting on past experiences that still affect life today. Practical everyday problems feature alongside deeper themes.
Laura helps with relationship and intimacy worries, coping with life changes, career concerns, anger and self-esteem. Parenting is also a named focus and she supports parents who are looking for clarity and calmer routines. Sessions are offered by phone, video, chat or messaging.
The tone is warm and non-judgemental and the aim is to find approaches that fit each person’s life. Laura encourages clear goals and small steps that build confidence over time.

How CBT and online counselling can help you
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical changes to see if things improve. This approach suits problems like anxiety, low mood, stress and certain parenting challenges.Person-centred ideas are also part of the mix and mean sessions aim to be empathic and non-judgemental. Psychodynamic perspectives can help when past experiences keep shaping present behaviour. Together these approaches allow sessions to be practical and reflective, matched to what a person needs.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, and they will try methods that fit the client's situation. Changes are made collaboratively, with regular review to see what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to an in-person discussion, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
