About Laura

Dr. Laura Stoops helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, addiction and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, parenting pressures and life changes.

Laura is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and lists NCPS as a credential.

Background and approach

Laura uses a straightforward and respectful style in sessions. She listens without judgement and asks questions to understand each person's experience. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what the person needs right now.

Her practice draws on client‑centred work that places the person's perspective at the heart of the session. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Psychodynamic ideas are also available to look at how past experiences shape present issues.

Over four years of practice have given her experience with a wide range of concerns, from chronic illness and caregiving stress to attachment and ageing worries. She also works with issues such as codependency, obsessions and compulsions, jealousy, control problems and life purpose questions. Laura aims to tailor her approach to each person.

She will listen, reflect, and together agree on small, realistic steps to try between sessions. The tone in therapy is warm, honest and practical. To begin, people follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the matching and scheduling options provided.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑centred work places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people set goals at their own pace; this approach suits issues like low self‑esteem, relationship worries and grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying small, practical changes; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss options with each person and agree a plan that fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to make sure the methods are helpful.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy more manageable around daily life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation; phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer to write or need quick check‑ins. These formats aim to offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving or travel commitments while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
