About Laura
Laura Brown is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 16 years working in the UK mental health field. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, depression, anger and other life pressures. Sessions are practical and conversational, focused on what someone wants to change.
Laura uses straightforward talking therapies to help people manage day-to-day problems. She draws on client-centred work to listen to what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural approaches are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to build different reactions. Mindfulness tools are offered when noticing thoughts and bodily reactions can help reduce tension.
She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and track progress. That can be useful when someone wants clearer steps for coping at work, with relationships, or around emotions such as anger. Sessions include practical strategies, short exercises and discussion about how to make changes outside the therapy time.
Laura has experience supporting people with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, career issues and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns around body image, chronic illness and communication problems. Her approach aims to be respectful and attentive to each person’s situation.

Approaches and how online sessions work
Laura commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to what matters to the person and building sessions around their concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical experiments to change unhelpful reactions.She often combines these with Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice bodily sensations and thoughts without reacting automatically. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing tension and for handling anger or stress in everyday moments. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits their goals and preferences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Laura will help set goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan if something is not working. That collaborative approach helps people see what feels most useful for them.
