About Laurel

Laurel Deegan is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem or questions about identity. She works with those facing depression, relationship worries and LGBT related concerns. Laurel is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Laurel uses a blend of approaches chosen to fit each person rather than a single method. Sessions begin with simple, practical conversations about what matters to the client now.

Background and approach

She keeps language plain and focuses on small, manageable steps a person can use between sessions. She places a strong emphasis on noticing patterns from the past and how they show up in present relationships. Attachment ideas are used to look at how people connect and why certain feelings repeat.

Cognitive-behavioural tools are offered to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours in day-to-day life. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are included to help people tolerate difficult emotions and make choices that match their values. Laurel aims to support people who struggle with compulsive behaviours, obsessive thinking or seasonal low mood by building practical routines and clear goals.

Laurel has five years of professional experience and works with adults in the United Kingdom. She supports clients who want a collaborative, person-centred way of working and prefers to adapt methods to fit each person’s needs.

How Laurel’s approaches work online

Laurel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with what matters to you. It can help with anxiety, low mood and when life feels confusing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current trust and closeness, which is useful for communication and commitment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laurel will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want regular brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while keeping the focus on clear, manageable steps.
