Dr. Laura Stoops, BACP, NCPS

Dr. Laura Stoops helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep and eating problems, and the strain of caregiving or long-term illness. Her work covers many everyday struggles, from career uncertainty to loneliness and life changes.

Laura is a counsellor who uses a flexible, integrative way of working. She draws mainly on client-centred approaches, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of what is happening now, and trying practical steps that can change day-to-day life.

Her style is calm and non-judgemental. She pays attention to how clients see their situation and offers thoughts that can open up new choices. Conversations often look at patterns in relationships and reactions, as well as immediate coping strategies to reduce distress.

Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS credentials. She has four years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

When someone starts with her, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's schedule. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects meaning, and helps people find their own solutions; this suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship stress and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact. It uses practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, obsessions and sleeping or eating problems.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit the client's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people use approaches like CBT homework, mindfulness practices and reflective conversation in ways that suit their routine, helping therapy to become part of everyday life.
