About Laura
Laura Bourne is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD and self-esteem. Sessions are presented as practical, direct conversations aimed at helping people manage difficult feelings and everyday tensions.
Her starting point is cognitive behavioural ideas, though she uses several ways of working to suit different people. That means talking about patterns of thought and behaviour, and trying simple experiments to see what helps. She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships shape responses now.
Laura describes herself as trauma-informed and works with an awareness of how traumatic experience can affect thinking and the body. In practice this looks like pacing sessions, checking in about reactions, and using approaches that avoid pushing someone faster than they can cope. She aims to help people feel more in control of their moods and responses.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Clients can expect to set small, achievable goals and to review progress regularly. Tools from solution-focused work are used to identify strengths and what already works in a person's life.
Laura offers help in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How attachment, CBT and client-centred work translate online
Laura draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and to try practical experiments that can reduce stress and anger. CBT is useful for clearer steps to change how you respond in tense moments.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships influence present reactions. That approach helps when patterns of closeness, distance or abandonment shape anger or anxiety. Client-centred work emphasises listening and making the session focus on what matters most to the client, which supports clearer goals and steady progress.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust the approach as sessions proceed. Clients are invited to feed back on what helps and what doesn’t, so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and help maintain continuity when schedules change. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt tasks and between-session exercises for remote sessions to keep progress moving.
