Laura Steele, BACP

Laura Steele works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, or struggles around identity and self-worth. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, bringing five years of professional experience to her practice. Her style is respectful and compassionate, focused on practical conversation and clear steps forward.

She helps clients facing life changes and those seeking greater motivation and confidence. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs, so discussions and goals are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Laura aims to make the first steps easier and more manageable for people who feel stuck.

Her additional focus areas include attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic pain and illness, codependency, and communication problems. She also works with people dealing with gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, and issues related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture.

Laura describes her approach as sensitive and person-centred, adapting how she talks and plans work to suit each client. She believes therapy is a collaborative process and that people bring valuable knowledge about their own lives.

Prospective clients are encouraged to consider what they hope to change or achieve before a first session. Laura supports people through practical strategies and conversational work to help them move towards a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and what they do

Laura describes her work using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each persons needs. One common approach focuses on identifying current thought and behaviour patterns, which helps reduce anxiety and improve coping with stress. Another approach looks at building stronger communication and understanding in relationships, which can help with recurring conflict and problems expressing needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods feel helpful. That means discussing goals, trying different ways of working, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as these are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions useful because they avoid travel, can be scheduled around work or family commitments, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity between appointments and to support steady progress.
