About Laura
Laura Edwards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and trauma. She works with individuals coping with grief, low self-esteem, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. Laura draws on seven years of practice and a BACP registration to guide people through difficult moments.
She starts by listening and helping clients tell their story in their own words. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems alive.
Background and approach
Laura encourages small, manageable changes that can make daily life feel more under control. Her approach combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred care and cognitive behavioural ideas. That mix is used to address overwhelming emotions, recurring negative thoughts and relationship patterns that cause distress.
Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and build skills for coping with anxiety, addiction issues and life transitions. Laura has supported people through a wide range of concerns including trauma, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related struggles. She also works with issues around body image, bereavement, chronic illness and identity matters such as LGBT concerns.
Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns by exploring attachment needs and ways of responding differently. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to tell their story while the counsellor reflects and supports. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-esteem and motivation to change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods to fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible across different schedules and situations.
