About Laura

Laura Fortune is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who helps people facing addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and parenting struggles. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they feel and think. Laura acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and she aims to make that first step easier for each person.

With four years of professional experience, Laura has supported people through a range of concerns.

Background and approach

She has worked with drug and alcohol addiction, dissociation, attachment difficulties and codependency. She also helps people dealing with infidelity, guilt, shame and the strain of blended families. Laura keeps sessions straightforward and practical.

She listens first, then helps people find steps they can try between meetings. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small changes that can reduce distress and improve relationships. She works with common family and parenting stresses, offering ideas for communication and boundary setting.

For grief and loss, she helps people name emotions and find ways to carry on that feel manageable. For trauma and abuse she uses careful pacing and attention to what the person can tolerate. Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and are available online in several formats to suit different needs.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Laura lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches meet online therapy

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in simple, practical ways. For trauma-related work she focuses on paced, structured conversations that help people name difficult memories and build tolerance for strong feelings. This approach is useful for those recovering from abuse or long-term stress.

For addiction and behavioural problems she offers clear goal-setting and coping strategies that aim to reduce harm and increase control over urges. These techniques often include planning for high-risk moments and developing alternative responses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, then try methods that match those goals. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to keep the work useful and manageable.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when you want to be off camera. Live chat and text let people check in quickly or use written reflection between meetings. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy going despite busy schedules or distance.
