About Laura
Laura Saggers offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She helps with relationship and intimacy worries, stress, anxiety, low mood and parenting strains. She also supports those facing career changes, trauma and issues around self-esteem and anger.

How Laura works
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside other ways of working to suit the person in front of her. Her registration with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) means she follows their Code of Ethics. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Laura sees people for both short-term focused work and longer-term support, tailoring the pace and tasks to each situation. Practical techniques and straightforward conversation are used alongside time to reflect and make sense of difficult feelings. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and fatherhood issues, plus challenges such as body image, eating-related difficulties and caregiver stress.
Communication and commitment problems are also common topics in her work. With four years of experience, Laura keeps her skills up to date through supervision and ongoing professional development. The emphasis is on helping people build coping tools, regain clarity and move forward at a pace that suits them.

How CBT and online sessions can help
CBT or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and often uses short exercises or tasks that can reduce anxiety, low mood and problems with stress or anger.Laura also integrates other perspectives when useful, adapting techniques to match the person’s situation and goals. This means CBT tools can be blended with ways of understanding attachment or communication patterns to suit the issue being worked on.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and decide together which methods fit best with the person’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and goals are reviewed as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is well suited to deeper conversations and seeing non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations and to pick a format that fits daily life.
