About Laura
Laura Andrews is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Sessions are held in English and international clients are welcome.
She focuses on listening and helping people name what is happening for them. Conversations are straightforward and practical. She encourages people to notice how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and to try small changes that feel doable.
Laura uses a mix of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She will talk through patterns that keep problems going and suggest simple techniques to reduce reactivity. When someone struggles with anger, she looks at nearby issues such as stress, sleep, substance use and relationship strain.
Her style is collaborative. Goals are set together and reviewed as therapy progresses. She also helps with longer-standing issues such as attachment, abandonment and impulse control by working at a steady pace and focusing on what the person wants to change.
Practical problems like sleeping, eating, parenting or coping with life changes are covered alongside emotional and identity concerns, including LGBT topics. People can expect clear explanations of methods and steps they can try between sessions.
How sessions work
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions fit
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely and helps the client find their own solutions and priorities. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and decisions about change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers concrete strategies to reduce unhelpful reactions, such as exercises for managing anger, stress and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of bodily signals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on a plan with the client. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are reviewed and adjusted as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, check which formats she currently offers before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or camera use is a problem, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets or exercises during the call. Confirm the available session types so you can pick what best suits your routine and needs.
