About Laura
Laura Steele is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and life changes. She works sensitively with clients who have LGBT concerns and focuses on building practical coping skills and clearer thinking. Her approach aims to make the first steps easier and less overwhelming.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which reflects membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Laura adapts sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a single rigid method. She listens, asks practical questions and helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions often cover day-to-day coping strategies.
Conversations might include stress management, ways to reduce anxiety, improving self-worth and navigating relationship difficulties. She also works with people dealing with gender dysphoria, body image concerns, grief after separation, and the effects of chronic illness. Laura has additional experience with attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and aspects of alternative sexual culture such as BDSM and kink.
She supports people who are managing communication problems, codependency or the fallout from domestic violence. Her style is direct but warm, offering practical tools as well as space to talk. To begin, Laura tailors a plan based on each person’s goals and preferences.
She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English. Clients are invited to take small steps towards change at a pace that feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people notice anxious thoughts and test whether they are accurate, then practise calmer responses to reduce anxiety over time. This method is useful for stress, panic and worrying that gets in the way of everyday life.Another helpful technique concentrates on improving communication and connection. It looks at how attachment and past patterns shape present relationships, and teaches practical ways to express needs and set boundaries. This approach can support people with relationship struggles, codependency and attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different techniques and choose what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography.
