About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and anger. She offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
Laura uses a person-centred approach that starts from the client's own experience. She listens for what matters most and helps people name difficult feelings. From there she brings in practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas when they are useful.
Her background includes additional training in trauma studies and Gestalt methods, and she draws on elements of mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as appropriate. That mix lets her respond to issues such as identity concerns, low self-esteem, eating or sleeping difficulties, and the stress of life changes.
Laura also works with people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, and career pressures. She pays attention to relationships and communication problems, and to attachment issues that can show up as mistrust or avoidance. The work is conversational and grounded in real problems rather than labels.
If someone is unsure how to begin, Laura asks about immediate needs and longer term goals. To start she uses a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session where practical steps are agreed. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Laura combines person-centred practice with cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what a client says so they can find clarity. CBT brings practical steps to spot thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current trust and closeness, which can help with anger and relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences in the first sessions and adjusts methods based on what helps. That means sessions might emphasise emotion exploration at times, or practical skills and experiments at others, depending on the client's needs.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, or useful when they prefer a quieter check-in that does not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements and adapt pacing and techniques so therapy fits everyday life without requiring long journeys.
