About Laura
Laura Ferguson is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family difficulties, anger, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or long lectures.
She has worked in private practice, charities, and custodial settings, so she is used to different kinds of pressure and schedules. In early sessions she listens for what already helps a person cope, and she looks for small, usable strengths to build on. That might mean spotting patterns that lead to anger or noticing routines that reduce stress.
Her approach mixes ways of working that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with longer-term reflections about why patterns repeat. She uses client-centred conversations to set goals that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to try out new thinking and practical strategies. Motivational Interviewing can help when motivation has dipped and someone wants a clearer plan.
People often come for help managing anger that affects work, relationships, or daily life. She also supports those facing trauma, career questions, or identity and intimacy concerns. Sessions are straightforward and task-focused when needed, or more reflective when that fits the person.
To begin, people are usually asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. The counsellor works in English and does not take international clients.
Therapy approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person to set their own goals. It helps when someone wants a space to sort out feelings and decide what matters to them next.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to test new ways of thinking. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and patterns that feed anger.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or lack motivation for change. It uses focused questions to build commitment and small concrete steps towards goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try things together, adjusting methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to find what feels useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions fit around daily life more easily, such as shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. It can also help where quieter surroundings or less visual focus make it easier to take part.
