About Laura
Laura Brown is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and focuses on approachable, respectful care for people facing difficult moments. She emphasises sensitivity and practical support throughout the first contacts.
Her work often begins with plain conversation to understand what feels most urgent. She adapts sessions to the person's needs and agrees a simple plan together.
Background and approach
Common areas she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, eating and career concerns. Laura uses straightforward techniques drawn from client-centred and cognitive behavioural ways of working. She also draws on mindfulness and short-term solution-focused methods to help people find immediate coping steps.
The aim is to combine what feels comfortable with actions that make daily life easier. People come for help with grief, trauma and addictions as well as body image and chronic illness concerns. She also supports those dealing with anger, sleeping problems, relationship communication and compassion fatigue.
LGBT issues are listed among the concerns she addresses. Sessions are arranged to match each person’s goals and circumstances. Laura invites open discussion about what a useful session looks like and adjusts pace as needed.
If you are ready to begin, the initial sign-up step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling.

How selected approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people understand their own feelings and choices, which can help when someone is unsure what step to take next.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks big problems into smaller steps and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood or change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then try methods together. This collaborative process means the plan can be adjusted if something does not fit.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, saves travel time and makes follow-up practice easier to slot in. Other practical benefits include the option of shorter check-ins when days are busy and easier scheduling around work or care commitments.
