Laura Brown, BACP

Laura Brown is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, career worries and depression. She aims to respond with respect, sensitivity and compassion to each person's situation.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and the plan to suit individual needs. That means practical steps some weeks and reflective listening at other times. She encourages a collaborative pace so people can move forward without feeling rushed.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred principles that put the person's experience at the centre. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Mindfulness practices and short-term solution-focused work are available when these match a person's goals.

Clients contact Laura to address a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, addictions, body image and chronic illness. She also supports people dealing with life changes such as divorce and separation, fertility and parenting pressures, and career transitions.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement; it helps when people need space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours link and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working to find what feels most useful. This collaborative planning means methods can be adapted as needs change over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or enabling contact from different locations. Many people find it helps maintain continuity of care during busy periods while keeping practical routines intact.
