About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist with five years of practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Laura focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression and life changes.
She works in a person-centred way, offering empathy and acceptance while people talk through what matters to them. Sessions are paced to each person, with space to reflect and make sense of upsetting experiences.
Background and approach
Laura also draws on attachment ideas and cognitive tools when they suit the work. Her practice includes support for trauma and abuse, grief, identity and LGBT concerns, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also helps people facing challenges with sleep, eating, addiction and chronic illness.
More specific themes she addresses include abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems. Laura offers therapy in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian, which she uses to bring a broader cultural understanding into sessions. She describes herself as warm and present, aiming to make therapy a straightforward place to think and plan next steps.
Sessions are available online by video, phone, chat or messaging. Costs vary with location and the subscription model used for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based ideas focus on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. In sessions this looks like exploring patterns in relationships and learning new ways to connect or set boundaries. It can help when past connections still affect how someone responds today.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own next steps. This approach is useful for people wanting a steady, supportive space to sort through emotions and make decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will choose methods that fit the issue and the individual's pace, adjusting the plan as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
