About Laura
Laura Nelson is a therapist based in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings five years of professional experience supporting people with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
She also offers help around neurodiversity and chronic health conditions, drawing on personal and professional experience to understand the particular pressures carers and neurodivergent people face. Codependency, addiction and intimacy-related difficulties are among the topics she regularly addresses.
Laura uses an integrative style. That means she draws on techniques from several different approaches and chooses what seems most helpful for the person in front of her. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work, mindfulness, emotionally focused ideas and acceptance-based strategies when these fit the issue at hand.
Sessions are practical and conversational. She aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and build confidence to make changes. She encourages small, achievable steps rather than overwhelming goals.
Laura frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to what matters to each person, checks in about progress, and adapts plans as needed. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their sessions according to therapist availability.
How Laura’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then focus on small actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and codependency patterns by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles. It is often useful for anxiety, sleeping problems, low mood and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences. She treats planning as a team effort, reviewing what helps and adapting the plan over time.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people join from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when that helps manage bandwidth or concentration. Registered or accredited professionals use a range of approaches to make remote sessions practical and focused on everyday change.
