About Laura

Laura McAuliffe is a counsellor with nine years of experience supporting adults through difficult times. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and uses that framework to guide her practice. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for a worried parent reading on their phone.

She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also helps with depression, grief and coping with life changes. Relationship and family problems are included, along with feelings of abandonment, emptiness, guilt and shame. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting working relationship.

Conversations are held with respect and sensitivity. The aim is to make space to talk things through and find practical ways forward. Her style can suit someone who wants clarity and steady support rather than quick fixes.

She listens to each person’s story and works at a pace that feels right. Parents worried about juggling responsibilities often find the practical tone helpful. People can expect counselling that blends listening with gentle guidance.

Together they look at patterns, how emotions affect day-to-day life, and small changes that can reduce strain. The emphasis is on real-life steps that fit around a busy family routine.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on listening and practical change. One common approach is a supportive, person-centred way of working that helps people feel heard and understood while they talk through difficult emotions such as grief or shame. This approach is useful for building trust and making steady progress.

She also draws on methods that look at patterns in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve mood. These techniques help identify unhelpful cycles and introduce small, manageable changes that make daily life easier. They are often helpful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy continues.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit support around family life and other commitments.
