About Laura
Laura Saggers is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years' experience. She works with people who find social situations, relationships and everyday stresses difficult, including anxiety, depression, parenting and issues around attachment and intimacy.
Laura uses clear, practical ways of working. Sessions can focus on unpicking patterns that make social situations harder, building small skills for speaking up, or managing stress when life changes. She explains ideas plainly and checks what feels manageable in the week ahead.
Her background includes a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) degree and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). She keeps learning through ongoing professional development and supervision and is registered with the NCPS.
Laura describes her style as integrative. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people see how thoughts, feelings and past experiences connect. Work often mixes practical CBT exercises with chances to talk through deeper relational patterns.
People who see her typically work on relationships, family and parenting concerns, coping with life changes, or issues such as abandonment, body image, communication problems and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be straightforward, with clear goals and steps to try between meetings.
How Laura uses CBT and integrative approaches online
Laura draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes. CBT work often focuses on practical exercises to reduce avoidance and make social situations more manageable.She also uses person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to look at relationship patterns and past experiences that affect how people feel in social settings. These approaches give time to talk through feelings and understand where long-standing patterns come from.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide what to try based on current worries, goals and what fits into daily life. That collaborative decision-making continues as therapy progresses and plans are adjusted.
Her biography states she offers telephone and video counselling, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments and avoid travel.
