Laura Fontanet, BACP

Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from a person-centred perspective. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of experience supporting people through difficult moments. Laura aims to offer empathy and acceptance so people can find clarity at their own pace.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk about anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and identity concerns. Sessions commonly cover stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and struggles with sleep or eating. Laura also works with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, bipolar difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural tools when useful. She uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand relational patterns. These approaches are blended with a client-centred stance so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs.

Laura has training in trauma studies and Gestalt therapy, and she brings a multicultural perspective to her work. She speaks English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian and can offer therapy in those languages where helpful. International clients are not accepted.

To begin, people who wish to work with Laura complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist’s schedule. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Laura combines person-centred practice with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural tools. Person-centred work focuses on offering empathy and acceptance so people feel heard and can explore their thoughts at their own pace. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships affect current patterns and help people make different choices in relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as work progresses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays relevant and practical.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people work from whichever language they feel most comfortable using, since sessions are offered in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
