About Laura-Anne
Laura-Anne Mervyn is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and anger. She also supports people facing addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, career worries, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions are conversational and focus on the person in front of her. Laura-Anne treats the client as the expert in their own life and focuses on building practical understanding of what is causing distress and what helps in daily life.
She has experience supporting people living with chronic conditions and those dealing with family conflict and school-related issues. That background informs her practical, down-to-earth style when talking through problems and planning next steps. She describes small, concrete changes as often more helpful than big promises.
Sessions look at feelings, patterns and reactions that drive anger and other concerns. Work can include spotting unhelpful cycles, clarifying values, and trying simple strategies to reduce reactivity and build clearer communication. The aim is better day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.
Laura-Anne accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting, using the platform's booking flow to choose a first session.
How sessions work
How her approach adapts to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters to the person. It aims to help people feel heard, clarify their thoughts, and decide what to try next. This approach can be useful for anger, grief, stress and relationship issues because it starts from the client's experience and priorities rather than imposing a plan.In sessions the therapist will work collaboratively to identify what helps and what gets in the way. That includes noticing patterns that trigger anger, testing small changes, and checking what worked between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will help you decide what fits your needs and goals as you go along.
Practical benefits of working online include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to choose a quieter setting without taking a long break. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options, and plan sessions to suit your schedule and commitments.
