About Laura

Laura Williamson is a counsellor who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. She also helps with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleeping and eating issues, anger, career concerns and compassion fatigue. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and has practised for around 10 years.

Her sessions are supportive and interactive. She offers a calm space to talk without judgement and listens to what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now, how feelings show up, and what small steps might help change things. Laura draws on humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to guide her work. That means she pays attention to current feelings, personal values and how past experiences can still affect day-to-day life.

She checks in with people about goals and adjusts the pace to suit them. She has experience working in charities and organisational settings with a wide range of client needs. That background has given her practical experience of common life pressures and loss, and how they can affect wellbeing.

Sessions aim to help people understand their patterns, build clearer choices and find ways to cope that fit their life. She encourages practical steps alongside talking, so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches and online session options

Laura uses humanistic approaches that focus on what matters to the person now, helping them clarify values and make choices that fit their life. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, dealing with life transitions and finding practical next steps.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that may come from earlier experiences and still shape feelings and relationships. This can help people understand repeating reactions and begin to change long-standing ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt techniques as those needs become clearer. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility constraints and to keep regular contact when life is busy.
