About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. She focuses on common life stresses and emotional struggles and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions are intended to be steady and consistent so someone has time to think and express feelings.
How Laura works
Laura listens closely and helps people find practical ways to cope with daily pressure. Her background includes support for stress, anxiety and depression, plus help for addictions and grief. She also works with relationship difficulties and parenting concerns, and supports people facing life changes such as separation or illness.
Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and communication problems. Laura draws on Client-Centred Therapy to place the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are a key concern.
Together these approaches aim to make sessions feel collaborative and straightforward. People can expect practical conversation, calm reflection and simple tools to try between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, better daily routines, and steadier emotional responses.
Laura hopes to support each person to move forward at a pace that suits them.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and experience. The counsellor reflects what someone says, asks open questions and encourages self-paced exploration. This approach suits worries like anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes where understanding feelings matters.The Gottman Method looks at how people communicate and solve problems in close relationships. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve connection, which can help with recurring arguments, trust issues and commitment doubts.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then adapt sessions so the work feels relevant. This collaborative process means the plan can change if something else would suit better.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and body language. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing written reflection and flexibility around work or childcare commitments. These options help people keep therapy going in a way that fits their day-to-day life.
