About Laura
Laura Andrews is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed or anxious and those coping with addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports concerns around relationships, grief, eating and sleeping, and many everyday pressures.
She uses a straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on what is worrying the person now and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot patterns of thinking and test new behaviours. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense moments and increase awareness of thoughts and sensations.
Laura also draws on client-centred methods, which give the person space to lead the conversation and set priorities. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or wants to make changes around addiction or routine habits. Existential ideas are brought in when questions about meaning, values or life direction come up.
She aims to keep explanations plain and practical. Sessions are a place to talk through what is hard and to try simple, everyday techniques that fit into life. People interested in starting are invited to follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
Background and approach note: Laura’s mix of CBT, mindfulness and client-centred work shapes a collaborative style. Over twelve years she has worked with a wide range of concerns listed above and often combines short-term goals with longer reflective work.
How Laura uses therapy approaches online
Laura often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to increase awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations and to reduce reactivity in stressful moments.She also uses client-centred ways of working where the person sets the pace and priorities. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist listens to the person's goals and suggests approaches that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can suit quieter or shorter appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you book.
