About Laura
Laura Adams is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has also spent many years supporting people in different settings before this period. She works with common pressures such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people who are coping with major life changes and relationship difficulties.
Her approach is psychodynamic therapy delivered in live video or audio sessions. She works from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to difficult situations. Sessions focus on talking through feelings and patterns that keep people stuck, and on making sense of what changes are needed next.
Laura often helps people address deeper issues like attachment and abandonment concerns, feelings of guilt or shame, and challenges after separation or divorce. She also supports those facing chronic illness or caregiver stress, and people working through body image or control issues.
In sessions she pays attention to how past experience shapes current relationships and behaviours. That can make it easier to spot repeated patterns and try different ways of responding. Work can include looking at impulses, isolation, and questions about life purpose when someone feels uncertain about what comes next.
Her practice uses live online sessions by video or audio. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English. To start, readers are asked to use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How psychodynamic work translates to online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. In plain terms this means talking about repeated patterns, strong emotions, and how people relate to others. For someone feeling stuck after a change, it can help make sense of why old responses keep coming up and where different choices might be possible.Because Laura delivers psychodynamic work by live video or audio, the focus is on conversation and reflection. Sessions can include noticing themes that recur in relationships, exploring feelings of abandonment or guilt, and tracking how mood and self-esteem affect daily choices. This way of working can suit people wanting to understand deeper influences rather than only learning short-term coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide whether psychodynamic methods meet their goals, and to adapt the pace and focus as new issues arise. That conversation usually starts in the first few sessions and is revisited as needed.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Audio sessions can be a lighter option when video feels taxing, and live video lets people read facial cues during conversation. Confirm the current session options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine.
