About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and other life changes. Laura creates a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about difficult feelings without worry.
She aims to make the first step easier for anyone who feels nervous about starting therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions are designed to be consistent and straightforward, giving space to share what matters most. Laura encourages honesty and gentle exploration rather than quick fixes. In sessions she listens closely to understand practical problems and emotional patterns.
Conversations often cover current stresses, past experiences that still affect daily life, and routines that might be changed to reduce overwhelm. She uses collaborative discussion to set clear, realistic goals together with each person. Laura draws on client-centred ways of working that prioritise the person’s own perspective.
She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support communication and problem solving in relationship concerns. These approaches are adapted to each person’s situation rather than applied rigidly. People who choose her tend to want a steady, friendly counsellor who will help them notice what is keeping problems going and try small changes.
She works with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, trauma and abuse, eating and self-esteem issues, career stress and coping with bereavement. If you want a practical, listening approach, Laura offers that steady presence to help you move forward.
Approaches and how online therapy can help
Laura uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening to your experience and helping you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem and many daily stresses because it centres the conversation on what matters to you.She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, which uses clear communication techniques and practical exercises to improve how people relate and solve problems together. That method can help with patterns of conflict, trust issues and communication breakdowns.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Laura will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and choose techniques that fit. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust course as needed so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent support. Video calls work well for face to face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging helps people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life while keeping a steady therapeutic relationship with a registered or accredited professional.
