Laura Fortune, BACP

Laura Fortune helps people who are struggling with addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting challenges. She is based in the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. Her work focuses on creating a space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings without fear of judgement.

She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Sessions are offered in English and she recognises how daunting it can be to begin. Clients are encouraged to bring their concerns about relationships, loss, or substance use into sessions at their own pace.

In the therapy room she listens closely and reflects back what she hears. She helps people name painful emotions and identify small, practical changes they can try between sessions. This might include different ways of communicating, setting boundaries, or spotting patterns that lead to shame or isolation.

Her practice addresses a range of related issues such as attachment difficulties, blended family strain, codependency, control problems, dissociation, and substance misuse. She also works with people facing guilt, forgiveness questions, infidelity, jealousy, and loneliness.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental conversation that aims to make sense of their situation and find workable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make sense of painful experiences and find practical ways forward. One common approach focuses on talking through past and present experiences to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and help people notice unhelpful patterns in relationships. Another approach emphasises building clearer communication and boundaries so people can manage family conflicts and parenting strains more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when life gets busy, or for conversations that do not require video if that better suits someone on the day.
