About Laura

Laura Brown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, eating and food-related issues, career difficulties, and depression. She also supports clients with trauma, grief, addictions, sleep problems, self-esteem and many related concerns.

Across her practice, Laura keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what a person wants to change and uses that as a basis for planning sessions. Sessions often include talking through current problems, looking at patterns that keep difficulties going, and trying small experiments between meetings.

Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices are introduced to support sleeping problems and persistent worry.

People bring a wide range of concerns, including body image, chronic illness, communication problems, control issues, and issues related to divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with first responder stress, compassion fatigue, fertility and fatherhood issues, and hoarding. Sessions address the practical steps someone can take next.

Laura works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on what the client wants to change and the conversation in sessions reflects that priority. In online sessions this means the focus stays on the person's concerns, values and immediate goals rather than a fixed protocol.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT can include setting specific between-session tasks, tracking patterns in daily life and reviewing progress together during meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy brings short attention and breathing exercises into sessions to help with ongoing worry and sleep problems. These practices can be taught in-session and repeated afterwards as part of everyday routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will openly discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide what feels most useful based on goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep continuity across locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices so they work in an online setting.
