About Laura
Laura Brown is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, career difficulties and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, addiction, grief and trauma.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions centre on what matters most to the client and aim to identify small, workable steps. Laura uses conversations to clarify problems, test options and build routines that fit everyday life.
She draws on client-centred practice to listen without judgement and to prioritise each person’s goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when thoughts and behaviours are getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness tools can help with present-moment awareness and reducing reactivity.
Laura also uses solution-focused methods to identify strengths and short-term goals. This can be useful when someone wants clear next steps for a specific concern, such as returning to work or changing eating habits.
People come to her with body image worries, chronic pain or illness, communication problems and issues around fertility, fatherhood or separation. She also has experience with first responder problems, compassion fatigue, hoarding and substance-related difficulties.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and making room for the client’s priorities. Online sessions let the therapist and client use conversation to set goals and adapt session focus as things change. This approach suits people who want space to be heard and to organise next steps together.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions commonly include short experiments, thought records and practical steps to try between meetings. This can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful eating patterns.
Mindfulness work introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These are easy to practise during or between online sessions and can suit someone wanting tools for daily stress or sleep difficulties.
Choosing the right mix is a joint process. The therapist will discuss aims, try techniques and adjust plans based on what works. That means the approach can shift as goals change or new priorities arise.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts and commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy sits better alongside daily life.
