About Laura
Laura Ferguson is an NCPS therapist practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, self-esteem, and social anxiety and phobia. She has worked in private practice, charities, and custodial settings.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions start by listening to what is most worrying and what the person hopes to change. Conversations aim to identify small, practical steps people can try between meetings. Laura uses a mix of short-term strategies and deeper reflection, depending on what is needed.
Her approach draws on client-centred methods that keep the person’s perspective central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to help with anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviour patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want clearer direction or a boost to make changes.
In sessions she helps people name patterns that feel stuck, practise new responses, and review what works. She also supports those dealing with grief, workplace issues, OCD-related concerns, and problems around intimacy and commitment.
People who are unsure what to expect can start with a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Laura’s description of her role emphasises practical steps and collaboration rather than labels or promises of specific outcomes.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Laura commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel understood and clearer about choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or combination fits best, based on their goals, immediate concerns and what feels most helpful in practice. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The practical benefit of online sessions is making therapy fit more easily into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it simpler to arrange appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can continue progress between meetings.
