About Laura-Anne

Laura-Anne Mervyn is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and reactions rather than labels or quick fixes.

She uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert in their own life. That means listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping people find their own solutions. Conversations often look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that fuel anger, worry or low mood.

Her background includes work with people facing chronic health conditions, family concerns and school-related counselling. That variety has informed a pragmatic style that aims to be straightforward and respectful. Sessions may include talking through triggers, learning calming responses, and planning small changes to reduce conflict and stress.

She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, sleep or eating problems, career stress and ADHD-related challenges. Where grief, loss or past abuse are present, she helps people pace difficult memories and cope with the everyday impact they have.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English.

How her client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client make sense of their experience. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to develop their own ways of handling anger, stress, grief and relationship strain.

Online sessions allow the same conversational focus as face-to-face work. The counsellor and client collaborate to test ideas, try new responses and review what helps. Deciding which approach to use is part of the first few sessions and is based on the client's needs, goals and preferences.

This profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will explain the available formats and help choose what fits best with everyday routines and practical constraints.
