About Laura
Laura Brown brings 16 years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful. Her approach is warm and straightforward, and she works to create a calm space for people to talk about hard things.
She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and problems with eating. She also supports those coping with major life changes, grief, anger and addictions.
How Laura works
Topics such as body image, chronic illness and challenges around fertility or fatherhood are also within her focus. Laura adapts conversations and plans to fit each person. She listens without judgement and works collaboratively on practical next steps.
Sessions often mix focused problem-solving with techniques that reduce distress in the moment. Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other approaches. That combination allows space for feeling heard while also trying small changes that can make daily life easier.
People choosing to work with Laura can expect clear goals and steps between sessions. She is experienced in coaching around career issues and in supporting people who are feeling emotionally overwhelmed. The emphasis is on simple, realistic strategies that suit each person’s life.
Laura offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She encourages people to take the match questionnaire and arrange a first session when they feel ready.

How Laura’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and supported while they talk through painful or confusing experiences.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that make problems worse. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood and tackle unhelpful habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means the approach can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility that suits many routines. Video calls provide a face-to-face style session, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health constraints while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
