About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and life changes. Laura also supports those managing ADHD, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem issues and career stress.
Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She uses a non-judgemental, client-centred stance that lets people talk through what feels most urgent. Laura aims to make space for difficult feelings and to help clients clarify what matters to them next.
Laura also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work. She spends time on communication patterns and practical interaction skills when relationships are a key concern. That approach is offered alongside the client-centred way of working, rather than replacing it.
People come to Laura for help with a wide range of problems, including trauma and abuse, family strain, parenting stress, grief, and coping after separation. She lists additional interests such as attachment difficulties, abandonment issues, autism and blended family strain, and complex co-morbidity.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when needed. Laura will listen to what someone brings and then discuss small steps to try between meetings. The focus is on making change feel manageable and on practical moves that fit day-to-day life.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can explore issues at their own pace. It helps when a person needs time to sort feelings, make sense of stress, or decide next steps in life.The Gottman Method targets communication habits and interaction patterns in close relationships. It involves practical exercises and check-ins that help people notice how they argue, connect, and rebuild trust after conflict.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Plans can change as work progresses and priorities become clearer.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and other commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone choose audio-only contact if that suits them better.
