Laura Saggers

Laura Saggers offers a calm, straightforward place to start when feelings feel overwhelming. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Sessions are described as warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to help clients talk through practical steps they can try between meetings.

Laura holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts with honours. She also has a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, listed as NCPS. Her practice draws on several therapies so she can adapt to what each person needs.

In session she uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, person-centred work and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns and try different ways of responding. CBT is used to identify thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and to test alternatives through doable experiments. Person-centred ideas help people feel heard, while psychodynamic thinking can help spot repeated patterns from earlier relationships.

Laura has four years of professional experience and keeps up continued professional development and supervision. She provides counselling from the United Kingdom and works with English-speaking clients, including those who live outside the UK. Practical next steps and small actions are commonly part of the work.

How CBT and talking therapies work online

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in straightforward ways online, helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour experiments between sessions. CBT often suits worries, low mood and anger because it focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking.

She also uses person-centred approaches to ensure people feel heard during video or phone meetings, and draws on psychodynamic ideas to help identify repeating relationship patterns that might be linked to past experiences. These complementary approaches give space for both practical change and deeper understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which ideas to use and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are invited to feed back on what helps and what does not, so the focus can shift over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life, fewer travel demands and the option to meet from wherever is most convenient. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which meeting formats are offered for your circumstances.
