About Laura
Laura Andrews is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties. She works with clients on relationships, grief, eating and intimacy-related worries as well as parenting challenges and the pressures of life change. Her approach aims to make a difficult first step feel manageable and understandable.
Clients find clear, straightforward conversations in sessions. Laura listens without judgement and encourages people to say what they are actually worried about. She focuses on practical changes that can make day-to-day life easier, alongside exploring feelings and patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her practice draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. That means sessions often combine exploring thoughts and emotions, trying small experiments between meetings, and learning simple ways to settle the body and mind. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also shape how she supports decisions and short-term goals.
Laura has 12 years of experience in the field and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people who want to improve sleep and rest as part of broader wellbeing, and she includes sleep-related strategies within wider care when helpful.
People who choose her can expect a down-to-earth tone and practical steps alongside emotional support. The start of work together usually focuses on clear goals and what an individual wants to change first.
Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Client-Centred Therapy is about creating an accepting space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor listens carefully. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and start from what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice the body and mind in the moment. These techniques can reduce rumination, support relaxation and improve sleep patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together to see what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That exploration is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a meeting into a lunch break. It can allow quieter check-ins when time is limited and can make working consistently easier across different time zones. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so arrangements match practical needs.
