About Laura

Laura Mitchell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, addiction issues, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and anger. Laura works with adults who want practical help for everyday problems and difficult emotions.

She uses a straightforward, client-centred way of working. Sessions concentrate on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations aim to make thoughts and feelings clearer and more manageable rather than piling on labels or medical language.

Laura also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-related conversations. That approach looks at communication patterns and small changes people can try in their interactions. It is used alongside client-centred work when relationship problems are part of what someone brings.

People come for help with life changes, parenting strain, career worries, eating concerns, and trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, attachment issues, and complicated bereavement. The focus is on steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes.

Sessions follow a simple process: talk about what feels difficult, identify what would help, and try small changes between meetings. To start, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the centre. The counsellor listens without steering and helps people clarify feelings and choices. This suits worries such as stress, low mood, grief and managing anger day to day.

The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns in relationships and practical skills people can try. It looks at how small changes in interaction can reduce conflict and build clearer conversations between partners. This approach is used when relationship issues are part of the presenting problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods across sessions. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus on one approach or combine techniques to address emotion regulation, communication or coping skills.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Choosing remote work can also let people join from quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
