About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of experience. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what is troubling them and find clearer ways forward.
Her practice draws on several approaches to suit different needs. She uses client-centred work to emphasise empathy and respect while also bringing in CBT techniques to address unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses.
Laura commonly helps with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with sleep difficulties, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy questions, and issues around identity and coming out. Her background includes work with stress, grief and caregiving strain.
Sessions can include practical strategies, reflective conversation and gentle exercises aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. Language skills in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian allow her to work with a wider range of people. The first meetings focus on understanding the problem and agreeing on simple, achievable goals.
People who want to begin are invited to reflect on their priorities before meeting. Laura works in a way that balances listening with clear, practical ideas. That combination aims to help people sleep better, manage strong emotions and feel more able to cope with life’s demands.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Laura combines person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make their own sense of things; it suits those who want a supportive space to talk. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful cycles such as those that make sleep worse. Attachment-based ideas help explore how past relationship patterns affect current emotions and responses, which can be useful for intimacy, anxiety or grief.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most useful, adapting methods as goals and circumstances become clearer. This collaborative planning helps shape the pace and focus of sessions so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try approaches such as CBT exercises or attachment-focused discussion from wherever they are, so therapeutic work can fit into everyday life without big disruptions.
