About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a person-centred approach to help people find clarity and calm. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings five years of practical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and difficult life changes.
Her work begins with listening and offering acceptance. Sessions focus on the client's pace and priorities, aiming to make space for honest conversation and self-reflection. That simple, steady approach is often paired with more active techniques when they suit the person's goals.
Laura draws on attachment ideas to understand patterns in relationships and on cognitive behavioural tools to help with unhelpful thinking. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused and existential work to look at feelings and meaning. These methods are blended into a clear plan you can work with between sessions.
She has experience with trauma and abuse, codependency, grief, identity and sexual orientation matters, and challenges such as addictions, ADHD and sleep difficulties. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness and parenting strain.
Sessions can be held in the languages she speaks: English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to fit around their life, with the subscription model used for bookings and payments.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Laura often combines person-centred work with attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-based work helps people understand why they respond the way they do in close relationships and can be useful for codependency and intimacy-related concerns.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different ways of responding. CBT is practical for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it offers clear strategies to practise between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss preferences and goals and test what feels most helpful. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to continue from different locations. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for using audio rather than video when that suits a person better.
