About Laura
Laura McAuliffe is a counsellor with nine years of experience and a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accreditation. She works with adults who are struggling and wants to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk. Laura focuses on common worries like stress and anxiety and on emotional issues that can feel overwhelming.
Her practice covers low mood and depression, panic symptoms, low self-esteem and grief. She also helps people dealing with relationship and family problems, feelings of emptiness, and fears about abandonment.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage. Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. She listens first, then helps build practical steps for coping and change.
The emphasis is on small, achievable goals rather than quick fixes. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach that values honesty and respect. Laura supports conversations about life transitions, such as becoming a parent, and moments when grief or guilt feel hard to bear.
She pays attention to attachment and how past relationships affect present feelings. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in a variety of formats. The aim is to make talking about what matters easier, and to help people find clearer ways to move forward.
Approaches and online support for anxiety and change
Laura draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to help manage anxiety and related problems. One common approach focuses on understanding thoughts and how they affect feelings and behaviour; learning to spot unhelpful thinking can reduce worry and panic symptoms. Another approach targets emotional processing and relationships, looking at attachment patterns and past losses to help make sense of emptiness, guilt and relationship difficulties.Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which approach fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they may try different ways of working and agree on clear, realistic steps to measure progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write when it fits their day. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
