Laura Saggers, NCPS

Laura Saggers offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, relationship strains and major life changes. She makes space for parents and individuals to talk about anxiety, depression, anger and challenges such as attachment or abandonment concerns. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

She trained to a Diploma level in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a BA (Hons) plus a PGCE. Laura is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, shown as NCPS, and she keeps up with supervision and further training to maintain her practice standards.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside person-centred and psychodynamic ideas. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, connect feelings to past experiences, and focus on practical steps between meetings. The work is adapted to each person rather than following a single rigid method.

Common topics she addresses include relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, career pressures, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem or body image. She also supports people coping with grief, separation and blended family challenges.

Laura offers both shorter and longer-term counselling by telephone and video. International clients may be accepted; confirm session arrangements when you book. To begin, clients use the platform's matching process to choose a start time and arrange sessions.

How Laura uses CBT in online work

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood or relationship tension. CBT sessions often involve simple exercises and short tasks to try between meetings, which can help people test new ways of thinking and reacting.

She also blends person-centred listening with some psychodynamic ideas about past experiences and attachment. Person-centred approaches give space for a client to lead the conversation, while psychodynamic ideas can help make sense of repeated patterns that come from earlier relationships. Laura approaches this mix collaboratively and adjusts it to what each person finds most helpful.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins around work or childcare. Practical arrangements such as telephone or video sessions are offered by Laura, but please confirm the exact session options when you book. The therapist will work with each client to find an approach that matches their needs, goals and preferences, so the plan can change as the work progresses.
