About Laura
Laura Andrews is a counsellor with 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical support for depression, trauma, relationship worries and codependency concerns. Sessions are aimed at making it easier to talk about difficult feelings and take small steps forward.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they need to. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person. The emphasis is on clear goals and useful strategies rather than labels.
Her approach draws on client-centred work that listens to the person first. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, used alongside motivational interviewing, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and find new ways of coping. Mindfulness exercises are offered to manage stress and improve focus.
Laura has worked across a range of concerns including grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and anger. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image and control issues. Her experience includes helping those affected by substance misuse and compulsive behaviours.
Based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she accepts clients from different countries. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to what will fit into everyday life. To begin, clients are invited to take a few small steps towards change and pace therapy to suit their needs.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what matters most, helping people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques for breaking unhelpful patterns, which helps with anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made together so the plan feels manageable and relevant.
