About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and other life changes.
Laura focuses on straightforward, person-focused conversation. She aims to help people talk through the issues that feel overwhelming. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and practical rather than full of jargon.
Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns such as depression, ADHD, eating issues, parenting strain and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, abandonment, codependency and communication problems. This gives her experience with both emotional and relational challenges.
In session she draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication where that is relevant. The focus is on simple tools and clearer communication, not on labels or technical terms.
Practical issues like career stress, anger and coping with major life changes are included in her work. She can also talk with people experiencing bereavement, caregiver strain, cancer-related concerns and separation. People who want calm, focused conversations about what to do next may find this approach helpful.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Client-Centred Therapy is built around the person’s experience. The counsellor listens without directing, and follows what the client says matters most. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings like anxiety or grief at their own pace.The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship patterns and communication. It offers specific ways to notice unhelpful cycles and practise clearer, calmer conversations with a partner. This can be useful for people who want to change how they connect and argue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and together they will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow people to join from wherever they are based in the UK. Different approaches can be adapted to suit shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what the person needs.
