About Laura
Laura Brown is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and eating and body-image concerns. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion and meets clients where they are.
Laura keeps things straightforward in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set simple, achievable goals. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She encourages small steps that can change daily routines and improve rest and sleep.
Her background includes long-term practice supporting people through life changes, grief and difficult relationship moments. She also works with those coping with addiction, trauma and compassion fatigue. Clients bring issues such as chronic illness, fertility or fatherhood worries, hoarding and problems around communication or control, and these are addressed in practical ways.
Laura uses familiar, evidence-informed approaches. She blends client-centred ways of listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness skills. Solution-focused conversations help clients identify what they want to change and try realistic steps between sessions.
People who prefer a calm, down-to-earth counsellor often find her approach helpful. She aims to make the first steps easy to manage and to support clearer sleep and steadier coping over time.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offers empathy and helps them find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to work at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with sleep, anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Decisions about technique are made together rather than being imposed.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep continuity between meetings. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know what is available. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, guided exercises that fit into daily routines, and steady progress without long travel times.
