About Laura
Laura Adams is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and depression, and supports people who are coping with life changes.
She describes herself as someone who listens to what people bring and recognises their own knowledge of their life. Her way of working draws on psychodynamic ideas, with live video or audio sessions used to talk through recurring patterns and feelings that cause distress.
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and behaviour. She helps people name sources of guilt, shame, isolation and low confidence. Practical steps and talking through recent life events are part of the work alongside exploring earlier experiences that still matter now.
Laura also addresses concerns connected to abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems. She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, body image and midlife questions. Issues such as control, impulsivity, divorce and separation are also within her remit.
Her background includes many years supporting people in different settings before registering as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a booked first session are the next steps.
Psychodynamic work and online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns in feelings and relationships. It helps when people notice the same conflicts repeat in different situations by exploring thoughts and memories that influence behaviour. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem.Alongside psychodynamic ideas, the practical part of sessions often includes talking through recent life events and identifying small changes someone can try between meetings. The therapist will work with the client to decide which mix of reflection and practical steps feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are reviewed together.
Laura uses live video or audio sessions as her stated formats. Please confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use online sessions to reach clients who live abroad or who find remote meetings more convenient.
