About Laura
Laura Ward is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Laura also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She uses straightforward conversations to help people make sense of difficult events. Sessions focus on understanding how past losses, generational patterns and emotional abuse shape thoughts and feelings. Laura encourages clients to notice what keeps them stuck and to build small practical steps forward.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That means she listens for what matters most to each person, looks at the links between thoughts and behaviours, and pays attention to strong emotions and attachment needs.
Laura has worked with issues such as motivation, self-esteem, identity, grief and chronic patterns of low self-worth. She has experience supporting people connected to ADHD and autism, and has worked with families and children in that context. Her style is direct and person-focused, aimed at increasing self-awareness and practical coping skills.
Clients work at their own pace to build resilience and clearer communication. Laura invites people to identify strengths they can use in daily life and to try manageable changes that reduce overwhelm and simmering anger.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters to the client, offering attention and reflection so people can make clearer choices. This approach helps with self-esteem, identity and moving through grief.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try small behavioural experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress and managing angry reactions by changing thoughts and actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to notice strong emotions and attachment-related patterns, which supports work on relationship difficulties and long-standing emotional pain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each client about goals and preferences, and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and practical.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to support steady progress without asking for big schedule changes.
