About Laura
Laura Ferguson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems and worries about self-esteem. Her style is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people find strengths they may not yet see.
She has eight years of professional experience working across independent practice, charities and custodial settings. That range means she is used to different pressures and life situations, and to helping people find realistic next steps.
Background and approach
Laura works from the idea that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building confidence to act on change. She pays attention to patterns that cause repeated problems and to practical skills that reduce day-to-day distress.
Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of motivational interviewing and psychodynamic thinking. That mix helps with unpicking unhelpful thoughts, finding motivation and understanding deeper patterns that affect relationships and mood. Sessions are offered in English and are provided via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Laura is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) working in the United Kingdom. If someone wants to begin, they follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches fit online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. It is useful when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is often used for stress, social anxiety and obsessive thoughts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and options can be adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lifestyles. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows shorter check-ins or ongoing contact between calls. These formats help people fit sessions around work, family and travel, while keeping simple practical arrangements for attending therapy.
