About Laura
Laura Andrews helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and sleep or eating difficulties. Laura is based in the United Kingdom and she practises as a counsellor with BACP registration.
She has twelve years of experience working in mental health. Her style is warm and client-centred. She aims to make sessions feel non-judgemental so people can say what’s on their mind.
How Laura works
Laura uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to try small, practical changes. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and keep going. Existential ideas help when people are wrestling with meaning, choices or life transitions.
Mindfulness techniques are used to ground people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Laura listens first, then works with you to set realistic goals and steps you can take between meetings.
She focuses on what will make daily life feel steadier and more manageable. Her experience includes a wide range of concerns from addiction and ADHD to attachment, body image and anger issues. The aim is to help people build coping skills, reduce distress and find clearer direction in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing a person without judgement and reflecting what they say back. It helps people feel understood and able to explore feelings and choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. These methods are useful for anxiety, low mood, addiction-related thinking, and day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that fit the situation and adjust them as you learn what helps most. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed set of techniques.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to access sessions from different places. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when written reflection feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and changing routines.
