About Laura

Laura Spagnuolo is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, and related issues such as eating, sleeping, anger and self-esteem.

Laura offers straightforward, calm sessions where people can talk through what is worrying them. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns in their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. The aim is to increase awareness so clients can make clearer choices about how to move forward.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred principles that focus on understanding each person’s experience. Existential themes are explored too, for people who want to consider meaning, values and personal responsibility.

In sessions Laura pays attention to how past experiences affect present relationships and everyday life. She helps clients identify habits that no longer serve them and works with them to try alternative responses. Conversations are practical and reflective, with time spent on what is most useful for the person in front of her.

Sessions are conducted in English and Italian, and Laura sees individual clients online. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session so they can discuss priorities and practical arrangements.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect present-day interactions and trust. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns in friendships, work and intimate relationships and try different ways of responding.

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and following their pace. In an online conversation this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify values and goals without pushing them toward a set agenda.

Existential therapy examines meaning, choice and responsibility. This can be useful for people facing big life changes, feelings of emptiness or questions about commitment and identity. Online sessions provide time to discuss these themes and consider practical steps for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to test what helps most, adjusting the balance of listening, reflection and practical exercises to suit the client’s needs and preferences.

The profile notes she sees individual clients online, but specific session formats are not listed. Before booking, confirm which online formats are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins when time is short, and avoid travel when that helps someone attend more consistently.
