Laura Saggers

Laura Saggers offers calm, practical support for people facing worry about relationships, eating and food-related issues, and everyday stresses. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what you want to change. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make decisions about next steps.

Laura trained to a Diploma level in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a BA (Hons) and a PGCE, and she is registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). She takes part in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to maintain her practice.

Her work is integrative, which means she draws on a few counselling styles to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of that mix and is used to help people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour and to try practical alternatives. She also uses person-centred ideas to centre the conversation on the client’s priorities and psychodynamic perspectives when looking at deeper patterns.

Sessions are presented in a warm, non-judgemental manner. Laura aims to make sense of difficult feelings in plain language and to set small, achievable goals together. She encourages practical steps that can be tried between sessions and discussed afterwards.

People can expect a steady, adaptable approach that focuses on what matters to them. Whether someone wants short-term problem solving or longer-term reflection, Laura tailors the work to fit individual needs and the issues they bring.

How CBT and an integrative approach work online

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to try small practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and body image concerns because it focuses on clear steps and experiments.

She also draws on person-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and on psychodynamic thinking to look at longer-standing relational patterns when those are helpful. These approaches are described simply in conversation and chosen to match what a person wants to work on.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. Clients and therapist review what helps and what to change so the work stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, or avoiding the need to use a camera when that is preferable. Registered professionals can still work thoroughly over distance and will help plan how sessions fit daily routines.
