About Laura

Laura Steele welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or major life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward way of talking things through and helping clients find more confidence and direction. Laura presents as approachable and respectful, and she works to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background shapes her practical approach to common concerns like low self-esteem, relationship worry and LGBT-related issues.

Background and approach

She also supports people coping with illness, chronic pain, or identity questions such as gender dysphoria. Sessions focus on clear conversation and steady problem-solving rather than jargon. Laura listens for patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency or dissociation and helps people try new ways of responding.

She is comfortable discussing topics that can feel difficult, including BDSM and kink, blended family challenges, and recovery after domestic violence or separation. People often come with a mix of pressures. Laura helps break those down into manageable steps and practical coping strategies.

Her style aims to build confidence and improve communication, not to rush anyone through change. Therapy is offered in English and can be arranged to suit different time zones. Laura works with each person to set goals and adjust the plan as things evolve.

Approaches you might try and how online sessions help

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking, practical change and developing coping skills. One common strand helps people manage anxiety and stress by identifying triggers, practising calming routines and testing small behavioural changes to reduce worry. Another routine targets self-esteem and relationship patterns by examining unhelpful beliefs, practising clearer communication and building healthier boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust it together if it does not feel helpful. That collaborative process helps find methods that suit how a person thinks and lives, rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Online therapy is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversational session, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to continue when relocating or living abroad.
