More about Laura
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a qualified therapist and a Member of the BACP (MBACP) based and working in the UK. I have over 5 years of professional work experience supporting people with mental health and well-being including working with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, ADHD, relationship issues, grief and loss, body images, low self-esteem and confidence.
I have a passion for (and personal experience) supporting people and carers who are affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity.
I believe that with the right support you can reduce the impact of the issues that challenge you empowering you to grow as a person.
As a therapist I work alongside you using an 'Integrative approach' this means I use techniques from a range of therapies based on what is going on for you and what might be most effective.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
