Background and approach

Sessions are paced to the client, with time spent building coping tools and clearer ways to handle difficult moments. Laura has three years of recent clinical experience and a longer background working with young people with diagnosed autism spectrum conditions. That earlier work shaped how she explains ideas simply and adapts her approach to suit different needs and communication styles.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including parenting and family stress, chronic health issues and caregiver strain, panic and obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or isolation. She also supports people facing life changes and ageing-related worries. Sessions can include talking through practical strategies, rehearsing new responses, and setting small goals people can use between meetings.

Laura aims to help clients notice progress and build confidence to manage future challenges.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Laura draws on straightforward, evidence-based techniques that are easy to use in online sessions. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it against real life. This helps when anxiety, panic or low mood are driven by automatic negative thoughts. Another useful approach teaches small behavioural steps and exposure for anxiety and phobias. It supports people to slowly face feared situations and build confidence without rushing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that suit the person, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together what to try next and how to measure progress.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to a face-to-face session while still fitting a busy day. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings or have shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy going despite work, family or health commitments.
