About Laura

Laura Nelson is a counsellor and Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) working in the United Kingdom. She brings five years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and mood difficulties. Laura also focuses on ADHD, addiction, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns.

She has personal and professional experience supporting people and carers affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity.

Background and approach

That background informs a practical, empathetic way of working. Laura aims to help people reduce the daily impact of their difficulties and build more helpful routines. Her approach is integrative.

She draws on methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred work, and mindfulness to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what feels most useful for the person at that time. In conversation she keeps language plain and concrete.

People can expect to talk about patterns, try small changes between sessions, and reflect on what matters most to them. Laura emphasises collaboration and shared decision making throughout the process. She offers appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Sessions are delivered in English and organised via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small steps towards them, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than on eliminating difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach is often useful for anxiety, sleep and mood problems because it includes action plans and short experiments to try between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own experience at the heart of work with the therapist offering empathy, acceptance and non-judgemental listening. It can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and for people who need time to explore feelings at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura will work collaboratively to decide which methods are most relevant to your situation, goals and preferences. Together you will try options and adjust the plan if something is not helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual contact when that helps. Phone sessions work well when a quieter, low-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while still accessing registered or accredited professionals.
