Laura Andrews, BACP

Laura Andrews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, sleep and eating issues, anger, ADHD and parenting strains. She welcomes conversations about LGBT matters and other personal challenges that affect daily life.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to make space for honest conversation and works at the client’s pace. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding the feelings behind behaviour. The goal is to leave each session with something that feels useful and doable.

She draws on approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. These methods are mixed to match what each person needs and what feels right for them. Therapy can involve looking at thinking patterns, building coping skills, and noticing how values shape choices.

With 12 years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she brings steady, practical support to the room. People often come for help with complex, overlapping issues like attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, or substance-related problems.

To begin, clients follow the site process to be matched and arrange sessions at times that suit them. She accepts clients based internationally but recommends confirming session arrangements before booking.

Approaches that guide online support

Client-centred therapy emphasises a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and focus; it helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and many stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and strengthen calmness in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and the pace of therapy are collaborative and can change over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, working remotely can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written or audio tools alongside conversation so practical skills can be practised between sessions.
