About Laura
Laura Brown is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, depression and career or life changes. Laura also supports people facing trauma, addiction and grief.
Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can help with day-to-day coping. She listens to how problems show up in work, home life and relationships, then helps people spot patterns they want to change.
Laura uses a mix of approaches to suit individual needs. She draws on client-centred methods to follow the person’s concerns, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and solution-focused ideas to identify small achievable goals. Mindfulness practices are used when present-moment awareness can ease stress or sleep problems.
People often come for help with body image, chronic illness or pain, communication difficulties, or the emotional fallout from separation and fertility issues. She also works with those coping with first responder strain, fatherhood questions, and compassion fatigue in caring roles.
Practical matters such as how sessions fit around work or family are discussed early on. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session to see how the approach feels.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
This counsellor uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person. That approach means the focus is on the client’s concerns and priorities, and the therapist adapts questions and pacing to the individual. It helps when people want conversational support and a place to make sense of current problems.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is also part of her practice. CBT looks at links between thinking, feeling and behaviour and gives clear, practical strategies to test out between sessions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and difficulties with unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as work progresses so what happens in sessions matches what someone wants to get out of them.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help maintain continuity when life changes make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you schedule your first session.
