About Laura

Laura Andrews is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain and life changes. She names ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related worries among her areas of focus.

Her way of working is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions begin with listening. She helps clients put words to difficult feelings and identify small, practical steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

The aim is to make therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Laura uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred work to make space for the client’s perspective.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness techniques to build calmer moments in daily life. With 12 years of experience, she has supported people through addiction, trauma, attachment and control-related issues. She also addresses body image, hoarding, impulsivity and codependency among other concerns.

Her background means she is used to working with complex, overlapping problems rather than single issues. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. Therapy is delivered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose what fits their life best.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means sessions are led by your concerns and your pace, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to help you make sense of things. Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and suggests practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and some addiction behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with you and try methods that match your goals and preferences. This is collaborative - you and the counsellor review what helps and adjust the plan as you go.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to an in-person session and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier if you do not want to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins or times when a written exchange fits better with your day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and travel commitments while still using evidence-based approaches.
