About Laura
Laura Nelson is a counsellor and a Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has five years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, body image concerns, addiction and neurodiversity-related challenges.
She has worked with carers and people affected by chronic health conditions, and brings personal insight to that area of practice. Her background includes supporting individuals dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
How Laura works
She also helps people cope with life changes like separation and career shifts. Laura uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies to meet each person’s needs. That means she chooses techniques based on what is happening for the person rather than following one fixed method.
Sessions focus on practical steps, emotional understanding and building everyday coping skills. People can expect a calm, collaborative style that balances listening with clear ideas to try between sessions. She aims to make the work easy to follow and relevant to daily life.
The emphasis is on small changes that add up over time. Laura practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her BACP membership is listed as BACP.

Online support options
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful habits and manage mood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it can be especially helpful when someone needs support to process emotions or build self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest options. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as the relationship and needs develop.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls suit a face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text can work for quick check-ins, brief reflections or when writing feels more comfortable. Many people find online options help them keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties and daily life.
