About Laura
Laura Steele is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She helps those dealing with self-esteem struggles, motivation dips, and relationship concerns. Laura also offers support around LGBT issues and the practical challenges of coping with life changes.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide a thoughtful, person-centred approach. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer ways to think about difficult situations. Laura pays close attention to respect and sensitivity in the room. She aims to make it easier to say what matters and to try small changes that can lift day-to-day life.
The tone of sessions is collaborative and straightforward, with pacing set by the client. Alongside the main concerns, she has experience with a wide range of topics including attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and chronic pain, and a range of relationship and identity matters. This breadth helps her adapt conversations to different backgrounds and needs.
People who choose Laura can expect clear, practical conversations that focus on what they want to change. She works to help clients build coping tools, improve communication, and move toward more manageable routines and goals.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying alternative ways of thinking; this helps reduce anxiety and improve mood by changing everyday reactions. Another approach emphasises building coping skills and routines - small behavioural steps that make stressful days feel more manageable and predictable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life situation. Together they pick or adapt approaches so sessions feel useful and realistic rather than overly technical or rushed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible access. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
