About Laura
Laura Brown is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, depression, and anger. Her practice also covers workplace and career difficulties and support for those facing major life changes.
She uses clear, direct conversations to help people understand what is driving their reactions. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns, and Client-Centred methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's priorities.
Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and to reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy helps people set small, achievable goals and track progress. Together these approaches are used to break down problems into manageable parts and to build everyday coping skills.
Laura works with issues beyond the headline areas, including body image, chronic illness and pain, communication and control problems, addiction, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, divorce and separation, and first responder pressures.
Sessions are described in straightforward terms and aim to give practical tools for handling anger and its effects. To start, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment. The emphasis is on steady, doable change rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of the work. It involves open conversation and active listening to help people clarify what matters most and to set the direction of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of physical and emotional signals.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Laura will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where options are tried and adjusted rather than imposed.
The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a workday or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to practise techniques between sessions in their normal surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions to keep progress steady and manageable.
