Laura Fontanet

Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian to suit different communication needs.

Laura’s main way of working is client-centred therapy, which focuses on offering empathy and acceptance so people can find their own answers. She draws on attachment ideas to look at close relationships, and uses cognitive behavioural tools when practical steps are helpful. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and aim to make emotional patterns clearer.

Her background includes work with trauma, abuse, grief and identity concerns. Laura also supports people facing addictions, ADHD, sleep and eating issues, and career or parenting stresses. She describes particular interest in topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful experiences and practical worries. Laura uses a mix of listening, reflective discussion and straightforward exercises when useful. The goal is to help people notice what’s keeping them stuck and try manageable changes.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that inform online work

Laura commonly draws on client-centred therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work focuses on offering empathy and acceptance so people can explore their thoughts at their own pace; this helps with low self-esteem, life transitions and emotional overwhelm. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions, which can be useful for intimacy or trust issues. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours together and often include practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger and improve sleeping or eating patterns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and focused on practical steps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. People often find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity during life changes and for accessing therapy in different languages without needing to travel.
