About Laura

Laura Mitchell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain and grief. Laura presents as calm and non-judgemental, and she encourages anyone who is unsure to take the first step towards help.

Her work focuses on building a steady, reliable space where people can talk through what is overwhelming them. Sessions are intended to let thoughts and feelings be shared openly. She aims to work at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person's own experience at the centre of the work. She also draws on the Gottman Method for practical communication skills when relationship issues are a concern. These approaches guide how she listens and the kinds of conversations she offers.

Across a wider range of concerns she supports people with depression, ADHD, family and parenting matters, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger and changes such as divorce or bereavement. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, caregiver stress and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist's schedule. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

The Gottman Method centres on clear communication and practical skills for relationship issues. It offers structured exercises and feedback to improve how people speak and listen to one another, which can be useful when conflict or anger affects relationships.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. Laura will work with each person to decide which elements of these methods suit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the pace and focus as conversations develop so the work feels relevant to day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can access the same therapist from different locations within the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals often find online conversations helpful for maintaining continuity of care and for practising communication skills between sessions.
