About Laura

Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a person-centred approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience supporting people with a wide range of emotional and practical issues. She offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian to suit different language needs.

Her style is warm and direct. She focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk at their own pace and make sense of their feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around the person's priorities rather than a fixed agenda, and practical tools are added when useful. Laura draws on attachment ideas and cognitive behavioural tools to help with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She also uses emotionally focused and existential perspectives to look at how meaning, connection and patterns affect day-to-day life.

These approaches are mixed to fit each person's needs. She works with issues such as stress, addiction, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and codependency.

Laura aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forwards. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees are managed through a cancellable subscription that varies with location and therapist availability.

To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Laura combines person-centred work with attachment-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to shape online sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on empathy and acceptance, giving people space to talk and arrive at their own insights. Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating ways of relating.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) provides practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking. CBT tools are often used alongside the person-centred space to create small, actionable steps between sessions. Together these approaches suit issues such as anxiety, trauma-related reactions, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what to try based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines and energy levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, need flexible timing or want ongoing written check-ins between longer sessions.
