About Laura
Laura Edwards offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She aims to create an open space where clients can talk honestly about what is hard and find clear ways to cope. Laura uses short, focused steps so change can start between sessions.
She works from the idea that each person knows their own story and already has strengths to build on. Sessions are shaped around the client's priorities and pace, with an emphasis on useful tools and honest conversation.
How Laura works
Laura listens for patterns in relationships, thoughts and behaviour that are keeping things stuck. Her approach draws on several practical therapies. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify and shift unhelpful thinking habits.
Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships affect feeling safe and close to others. Emotion-focused methods support naming and managing strong feelings. With seven years of experience and BACP membership, Laura has supported people through trauma, loss, addictions and chronic health challenges.
She also helps with self‑esteem, intimacy worries, ADHD and complex relationship concerns. This background guides a flexible style rather than a single method. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different timezones for international clients.
Online formats include video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits with the therapist's availability.

Online support options
How different approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It helps people understand why they react strongly in certain relationships and supports safer ways of connecting and asking for needs to be met.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and routines and testing them with small experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and habits that feel stuck because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try out methods that fit their situation. Choices are revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or living across timezones. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or times when writing feels more helpful. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible without changing the core therapeutic work.
