About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity concerns, low self-esteem and life transitions, and offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
Her main method is client-centred therapy, which places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. Sessions typically focus on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques when these fit a person's goals.
Laura has experience supporting people through bereavement, relationship difficulties, career uncertainty and changes such as leaving home or starting a new job. She also addresses more complex issues such as ADHD, addictions, bipolar concerns, dissociation and the impact of domestic violence or chronic illness. Practical problems like sleep, eating and anger are included alongside emotional themes.
Her background includes additional work with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress and communication or commitment difficulties. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change or understand next.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Laura draws on client-centred therapy, attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping a person find clarity and meaning in their experience; it suits people who want a reflective, conversational approach. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and helps with relationship, intimacy and trust issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Laura will discuss different ways of working and agree with each person which methods to try based on their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as things develop.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. They also permit working without being physically away from home and can be arranged to suit a person’s schedule and practical needs.
