I have been working with Laura for a few weeks now and I already feel more settled. The acute phase has passed and I am now looking toward the steady state support so that I can continue to work on my ay to day anxieties. Laura has been instrumental in providing me direction and another view point on the issues I have raised. A steady and confident operator it is a pleasure to work with Laura.

More about Laura

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Welcome, I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I have been a therapist for about 10 years. I have worked in charities and organisations with a range of clients in different ages and presenting problems. I have worked with people who have concerns like anxiety, depression, family and relationship problems, abuse, and more.

My therapy style is supportive and interactive. I provide a safe space for you to talk openly with a trusted individual who will not judge you, an environment for you to explore what is happening for you, any emotions that you have, and discuss what you feel is the next step. My approach combines humanistic and psychodynamic theory to support you. We will talk through what you want from the sessions and how we can work together.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Thanks for taking the time to find out more about me. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
