About Laura

Laura Steele works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses conversation and practical strategies to help people manage day-to-day problems and build more confidence. Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

She focuses on clear, practical sessions that aim to identify patterns and try workable changes. Sessions involve talking things through, noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and testing small adjustments in everyday life. Laura also pays attention to attachment issues, communication difficulties and the effects of chronic illness on mood.

Her additional areas of interest include autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, codependency, dissociation and the broad range of concerns that can follow separation or divorce. She has experience with gender dysphoria, BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and supporting people dealing with guilt, shame and forgiveness.

Laura offers support around blended family issues and communication problems, and she has worked with people affected by domestic violence and natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on practical steps the person can try between meetings.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and reviewed regularly. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats available.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps identify patterns of thought and behaviour, then tests small, manageable changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily coping. This can suit people who want concrete steps to try between sessions.

Another useful approach is relational work that explores attachment and communication patterns. This helps people spot recurring relationship dynamics and try new ways of relating that feel clearer and more effective.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the person's goals, needs and preferences and agree which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches are reviewed as progress is made.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to arrange regular meetings around work or family commitments.
