About Laura
Laura Carroll is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues linked to LGBT identity.
Laura thinks clients know their own story best. She aims to help people identify their strengths and use them to move past what is blocking them.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and compassionate, and she encourages small practical steps that fit into everyday life. In sessions she draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters most to each person. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that come from past experiences.
These ways of working are used to talk through current problems and make sense of repeated difficulties. Sessions can address parenting stress, career worries, bereavement, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges and intimacy concerns. Conversations are paced to suit the person, with space for emotional support and problem-solving together.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She encourages people to try different ways of coping and to build on what already helps them. Taking the first step can be hard, and Laura aims to make that step as manageable as possible.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the screen. It means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead and helps them set goals that feel achievable. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns by making sessions about the client's priorities.Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. Online sessions give space to notice themes that affect current relationships and behaviours, which can be helpful for issues like trauma, grief and ways of coping that no longer serve the person.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss preferences and goals and will help decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as things change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing helps someone gather their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
