About Laura
Laura Adams is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice and broader experience supporting people in different settings. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and depression. Laura aims to help people cope with life changes and regain a sense of direction when things feel overwhelming.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths that can be used to manage difficult moments.
How Laura works
Sessions are conversational and aim to build understanding about what keeps problems active. Laura listens for patterns from the past that affect present feelings and choices. Her background includes work across varied environments before she practised as a counsellor full time.
This variety has shaped a flexible style that adapts to what each person needs in the session. Practical ideas are offered alongside reflective conversation to help move things forward. Laura uses psychodynamic ways of working in video and audio sessions.
That means looking at feelings, relationships and life history to find meaning and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are paced to suit the person and to build steady progress. People who want to look beneath their reactions and understand recurring difficulties often find this approach helpful.
Laura aims to create a calm space to talk things through and to work at a manageable pace.

How psychodynamic work adapts to online therapy
Psychodynamic work focuses on feelings, relationships and life history to uncover patterns that shape current struggles. In practice this means talking about recurring emotions, events from the past and how these repeat in day-to-day life; it can help with anxiety, low self esteem, relationship patterns and coping with change.Sessions can also include supportive, problem-focused ideas alongside reflection when a clear practical step is needed. That combination helps people move from understanding to doing without losing sight of longer-term change.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy and happens together. The therapist will check what matters to the client, try methods that suit their goals, and adjust the pace and focus as the work progresses. This collaborative process ensures the way of working fits the person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
