About Laura
Laura Nelson is a counsellor and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience working with people who face stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, ADHD and issues linked to sexuality and identity.
She often helps people affected by chronic health conditions and those who are neurodiverse, including carers. Her approach is practical and person-focused.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to reduce the daily impact of problems and build coping skills that fit ordinary life. Laura uses methods drawn from several therapies rather than a single model. She tailors techniques to the individual so sessions stay relevant and straightforward.
That might include talking through thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns, and practising new ways of relating to difficult feelings. Her style is warm and collaborative. She works at the client’s pace and supports small, achievable steps.
The goal is clearer thinking and more choice in how people respond to stress and setbacks. People find this way useful when they want both practical tools and space to be heard. Laura encourages curiosity about difficult experiences while helping clients build everyday routines that make life more manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes because it focuses on what matters most rather than trying to eliminate every difficult feeling.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and behaviour that people want to change.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle reflection so clients can make sense of their experiences and find their own direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try techniques that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are close to face-to-face interaction and work well for exploring emotions and practising skills. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent check-ins and can help keep progress moving between longer sessions.
Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer flexible, consistent support that fits varied schedules and daily demands.
