About Laura

Laura Adams helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and depression, and supports those coping with life changes. She uses psychodynamic therapy in live video or audio sessions. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional work experience in the UK.

Before her current practice she spent many years supporting people in a range of settings. That background informs how she works with individuals now. She focuses on understanding patterns that affect feelings and relationships, and on how past experiences can shape present behaviour.

In sessions she treats the person as the expert in their own life and highlights existing strengths. Meetings tend to explore recurring themes and emotional responses that crop up in daily life. This can help make sense of difficult feelings and guide practical steps people want to try.

Her approach is psychodynamic therapy, delivered live by video or audio. Sessions concentrate on thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns that influence current problems, and on how these link to past experience. Clients can expect reflective conversation and attention to personal history as it shows up now.

Laura also works with specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, men's issues and midlife crisis. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How psychodynamic work translates to online sessions

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring feelings, relationship patterns and how past experience affects present behaviour. In practice this means talking through current reactions and the memories or relationships that may link to them, which can help make patterns clearer and more manageable.

Live video sessions allow for visual cues and facial expression to be part of the conversation, which can aid work on relationships and attachment. Audio-only sessions focus on tone and content of speech and can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a shorter, less bandwidth-heavy check-in.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adjust the way they work to fit the client. That decision is made together, based on what is helpful and realistic for the person.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. If you want to know which session formats are currently offered, please confirm the options before booking so you can plan sessions that fit your day-to-day life.
