About Laura

Laura Mitchell is a counsellor who trained in the UK and holds BACP accreditation. She has four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns and relationship difficulties. Laura invites a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what feels hard right now.

She focuses on practical conversations that help with grief, depression, parenting strain and the daily pressures of life. Laura also works with people facing ADHD, eating difficulties, anger and major life changes. Money and financial issues are listed among the areas she helps people with, alongside work and career concerns.

Laura uses person-centred ideas to keep sessions rooted in what each person needs. She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work to support clearer communication and understanding between partners. Sessions aim to be straightforward and tailored to what the individual brings.

In the room she listens for patterns that cause difficulty and helps people try different ways of coping. Conversations may include setting small goals, practising new ways of speaking to others, or planning steps for tackling a specific worry. Laura encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She asks people to take the step of choosing therapy when they feel ready and offers a calm space to begin sorting things out. To start, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then book sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How Laura's approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person in the room. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs steady support, clearer self-understanding, or a place to make sense of difficult feelings.

The Gottman Method focuses on practical tools for relationships. It looks at communication patterns, emotional connection and ways to reduce conflict. People use it when they want to improve how they talk, argue less and rebuild trust with a partner.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide what to try first. The choice of method can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, keeping conversations regular, and avoiding travel time. Because session formats are not listed in the original biography, confirm the available online options before booking so they match your routine. Many people find that short, regular appointments help maintain momentum while longer sessions allow deeper discussion.
