Background and approach

That background informs a practical approach to talking through life changes and relationship difficulties. She pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck while recognising the small steps that lead to change. Laura describes clients as the experts on their own lives and looks to build on existing resources.

Sessions are delivered by video or audio, and she uses psychodynamic ideas to uncover recurring feelings and relationships that matter now. This work can be helpful for abandonment or attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and issues around communication. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or disability, caregiver stress, and challenges with body image or life purpose.

Laura offers a calm space to reflect on separation, control issues and midlife transitions while helping people find more manageable ways to cope. Her practice aims to blend thoughtful listening with practical conversation. People who want to understand why they keep repeating the same patterns may find this style useful.

Initial steps are simple and focused on what the person wants to achieve.

Approach and online therapy options

Laura uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring feelings, past relationship patterns and how these show up now. This approach helps people who want to understand why they repeat certain patterns or who carry long-standing feelings such as abandonment and guilt. It is about making links between past experience and present difficulties so people can make different choices.

In conversation she aims to be curious and collaborative. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she will work with each person to agree what feels most helpful. Together they will set goals, review progress and adjust the way they work based on what the person needs and prefers.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for a closer face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people pause and reflect between contacts. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health limitations while keeping the focus on clear, consistent therapeutic conversation.
