About Laura

Laura Brown works with stress, anxiety, eating and self-esteem concerns using a mix of talking and practical techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has 16 years of professional experience. Laura says she adapts how she works to the person sitting in front of her and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

She helps people with depression, coping with life changes, addictions and grief. She also supports those dealing with sleeping problems, anger and career pressures. Other areas she focuses on include body image, chronic illness and disability, communication problems and control issues.

Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters most to the individual. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change patterns of thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping, while Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term goals and practical steps.

Sessions are framed around clear aims and regular review so progress can be tracked. She works with issues such as domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, fertility and fatherhood questions when people raise these concerns. She also attends to co-morbidity, hoarding, guilt and forgiveness in conversations that combine emotional support with practical tasks.

People can expect a direct, conversational style that sets out options and steps to try between sessions. To begin, users follow the site matching process and book a first appointment.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities and experiences, letting conversations follow what matters most and helping people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing small changes to see what helps in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve concentration and sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and try approaches that suit the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as people notice what helps.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible, and phone or video options may suit people who prefer not to travel or who need a quicker way to connect.
