About Laura
Laura Bourne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and sleep difficulties. She works with adults and young people on issues such as self-esteem, relationship problems, grief, anger and coping with life changes. She also supports clients concerned about ADHD, intimacy, family matters and LGBT related issues.
Laura trained initially in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she uses that alongside other approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She describes her way of working as compassionate and non-judgemental, and she aims to create a space where someone can speak openly and at their own pace. She notes that trauma awareness informs her practice and how she supports people who have been affected by abuse or distress.
Clients can expect a mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation. Laura draws on attachment-focused ideas when looking at relationship patterns and on solution-focused techniques to agree clear goals. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to understand past influences on present feelings.
She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and she has five years of professional experience. Sessions are carried out from the UK and are offered in English. International clients are not currently accepted.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and pricing varies with location and therapist availability.
How key approaches shape online work
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to frame much of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small experiments to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour in current relationships, which is useful for intimacy issues and family patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura will discuss what matters most to the client and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change if something is not working.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or offering alternatives to being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside other responsibilities.
