About Laura
Laura Andrews is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports concerns such as anger, relationship strain, grief and problems with sleep and appetite.
Laura uses straightforward talking and practical techniques in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them make sense of their reactions. Sessions often involve simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings and to try different ways of responding to them.
Her approach draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. That means she balances open, person-focused discussion with steps to test unhelpful thinking and small behaviour changes. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or find change difficult.
Laura is used to working with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency. She also supports people facing eating and food-related problems, substance and alcohol concerns, and neurodiversity-related matters such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Practical problem-solving and planning are common parts of her work.
Sessions aim to reduce ongoing frustration and to build clearer ways of handling difficult moments. Laura encourages a slow, steady pace so people can try new responses outside sessions and then reflect on what helped. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Laura commonly uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural therapy as part of her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s own perspective, useful for sorting out feelings such as anger, shame or grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and gives simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. That approach uses careful questions and reflection to build momentum for steps the person wants to try. Deciding which mix of these approaches to use is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client, shaped by goals, preferences and practical needs.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, travel or family life because they cut out travel time and can be easier to schedule. Shorter check-ins can be arranged when days are busy, and sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs. Registered or accredited professionals will work with clients to choose an approach and format that fit everyday routines.
