Background and approach
Her background means she has worked with a wide range of presenting problems and life situations. This practical experience shapes how she listens and responds in sessions. Her style is supportive and interactive.
Conversations focus on what matters to the client, their feelings, and small steps they can try between meetings. She combines humanistic ideas with psychodynamic thinking to help uncover patterns and build on strengths. Sessions begin by talking about what the client wants from therapy and how best to move forward together.
Laura aims to keep explanations plain and uses everyday language rather than clinical jargon. People leave with clearer options and a plan to try in daily life. Seeking help can feel hard, and she frames the work as a shared process.
Laura offers steady encouragement and practical thinking to help people take the next step towards better wellbeing.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Laura typically draws on humanistic approaches that focus on the person's experience, listening closely and helping them to name and make sense of feelings. This approach helps when someone is feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to start.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and past experiences that shape current responses. This can be useful for understanding repeated relationship difficulties or long-standing emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape the focus and pace of sessions.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video suits fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can use less bandwidth and fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options help people access therapy from different places and at times that fit their life.
