About Laura

Laura Saggers works with relationship and family concerns, alongside issues such as anxiety, stress, depression and trauma. She uses a mix of approaches and practical conversation to help people think about patterns, communication and next steps. Laura is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years' experience.

Laura offers both brief and longer-term counselling by telephone and video. In sessions she listens to what matters, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and tries out small changes that suit everyday life. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address, whether that is parenting strains, career pressure, or difficulty with intimacy.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to combine practical techniques with space to reflect. CBT is used to map thoughts, feelings and actions and to test new ways of coping with anxiety or low mood. Other perspectives help when looking at past relationships and recurring patterns.

Clients are encouraged to set clear goals and to reflect on progress between sessions. Laura takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development to keep her practice current. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Costs vary with location and sessions are provided using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT and integrative approaches are used in online sessions

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people map links between thoughts, feelings and actions and to try small practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions often include agreed exercises to do between meetings and clear steps to test new ways of coping.

She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships influence current patterns. These approaches provide space to reflect on experiences and to consider how long-standing patterns affect relationships and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day pressures to decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and removing travel time. Telephone or video sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during a busy week or to have a shorter check-in when needed. Confirm the latest session options and formats with the counsellor before booking to make sure they fit into your routine.
