About Laura

Laura Ward is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines a warm, person-focused approach with practical ways to manage everyday problems. She draws on three years of professional experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers help at a pace that suits each person. She helps people understand how difficult events and family patterns shape thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions often look at motivation, confidence and the effects of emotional abuse. Laura supports those coping with depression, trauma, anger and major life changes, and she helps people grieving a loss to make sense of where they are.

Laura also works with people dealing with neurodiversity, including autism and attention difference (ADHD), and with parents and carers who are managing stress linked to caregiving. Her style is empathic and non-judgemental, aiming to meet people where they are rather than pushing a fixed set of steps.

Therapy sessions use a mixture of client-centred listening and active techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and emotionally focused ways of working. This means practical strategies are used alongside space to reflect on emotions and patterns of relating. People who come to Laura typically leave with clearer coping tools, greater self-compassion and a stronger sense of their own choices.

To begin, she invites prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit their needs.

How her approaches work online

Laura blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and emotionally focused ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building trust through empathetic listening and meeting a person where they are, which can help with low self-esteem and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical steps to change patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, pays attention to emotional experiences and relationship patterns to improve connection and manage painful feelings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will check in about your goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that suit you. If something doesn’t fit, she will adapt the plan together with you so sessions remain relevant and manageable.

Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow conversation much like an in-person session, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins, and text or chat can suit people who prefer writing or need quick access between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or other commitments, while keeping focus on the goals you set with your therapist.
