About Laura
Her approach is practical and tailored. Sessions focus on the client's immediate concerns and on small, doable steps towards change. She uses dialogue and collaborative planning to shape the work, adapting methods to suit each person's needs.
Laura draws on a mix of talking therapies and practical strategies. She uses Client-Centred ideas to keep the pace set by the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices support better coping with stress and strong emotions.
Many clients come with issues around body image, eating and lengthy worries about weight and food. Laura also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and problems with sleep. She pays attention to how long-term health conditions and chronic pain can affect mood and daily life.
Sessions are conversational and focused on achievable goals. Laura helps people clarify what matters most, practise new skills between sessions and review progress. She asks questions, listens closely and works with each person to find what helps them move forward.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Laura commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and letting the client guide the pace of sessions; it helps when someone needs acceptance and time to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change them, which can help with anxiety, eating difficulties and mood problems.Finding the right approach is something the therapist does together with the client. She will talk about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. That way the choice of approach grows from what works in practice rather than being fixed at the start.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work with therapists who are in different locations, which helps if local options are limited.
