About Laura

Laura Brown is a counsellor who has worked in the UK for 16 years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on practical help for common but painful problems like stress, anxiety, depression and eating concerns. Her style is straightforward and respectful, with conversations tailored to each person's needs.

Laura aims to make the first step feel manageable and acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasises clear, collaborative work. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting conversation where the client's experience guides the pace and focus. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into small, workable steps.

Mindfulness approaches help people notice their thinking and bodily reactions with less judgement. Laura also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress between sessions. She helps people with a wide range of life issues beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem or body image.

This includes practical support for challenges like chronic illness, sleep problems, addictions and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by people in the UK and internationally. Laura adapts session style to what each person finds most useful, whether that means structured skill-building, gentle listening, or a mix of both.

She aims for clear next steps after each meeting. People can expect to work together on simple, realistic strategies. The focus is on small changes that add up, coping tools for difficult moments, and clearer ways to move forward.

Ways of working Laura names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches you can try online

Laura commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so they feel understood and can decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses small, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Many people try a mix of approaches at first and refine the focus as they go.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful when non-verbal cues matter, phone can work when lower bandwidth is needed, and text or chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the work consistent with face-to-face practice.
