About Laura
Laura Carroll is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Laura also supports those facing addictions, relationship strain, issues around intimacy and self-esteem, and challenges connected to LGBT identity and parenting.
She starts from the view that each person knows their own story. Sessions aim to build on a person's existing strengths rather than erase them.
How Laura works
Laura offers a calm, listening presence and helps people find practical ways forward for day-to-day struggles. Her practice draws on client-centred work that keeps the person's experience central. That approach focuses on understanding how someone feels and what they want to change.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns can affect current behaviour and relationships. Appointments use a conversational, down-to-earth style. Laura will help you set goals and try things between sessions to test what works.
The pace and focus are shaped by the person's needs and preferences. People who pick her often want a therapist who listens, reflects back what matters, and helps them take small practical steps. Laura aims to make the process straightforward and respectful, so people can feel more able to cope and move on from what is holding them back.

How Laura's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to make them feel heard. The therapist reflects back what is said, helps clarify feelings and supports people to steer conversations towards their own goals. This approach often suits worries like anxiety, self-esteem struggles and relationship concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past patterns and how they show up now. It looks at repeated ways of thinking and behaving so people can understand why some situations keep happening. That perspective can be helpful for issues such as trauma, attachment concerns and recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively to decide what methods to try based on each person's goals, needs and preferences. She will check in regularly and adapt the work if something is not helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls suit longer sessions and face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to get help around daily commitments and different routines.
