About Laura
Laura Saggers is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years' experience. She holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) and a PGCE. Laura works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting, career change and anger.
Laura usually takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside other forms of counselling to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what someone wants to change, and small steps they can take between meetings.
Her background includes working in private practice and keeping up professional development and supervision as part of her NCPS registration. That background informs how she plans time-limited and longer-term work depending on the issue.
People come to her with a wide range of concerns from intimacy and commitment issues to coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, anger and self-esteem problems.
In practical terms Laura offers telephone and video counselling. Before a first session she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and to choose a time that fits their schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How CBT and integrative counselling work online
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Online CBT involves identifying those patterns, testing them with small experiments and practising new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and anger management.Integrative counselling blends ideas from a few approaches to suit what someone needs right now. That might mean using person-centred listening for emotional clarity, psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, and CBT tools for practical change. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try and adjust them as work progresses.
Laura offers telephone and video counselling, so ask which formats will be used when you book. Online sessions can fit more easily into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on making therapy manageable alongside everyday responsibilities, while choosing methods that suit the person's goals and preferences.
