Laura Daniels, BACP

Laura Daniels is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people who are feeling stuck or upset. She keeps sessions calm and non-judgemental, and focuses on understanding what matters to each person. Her work often helps those facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain, including people dealing with midlife crisis concerns.

She has seven years of experience supporting clients through bereavement, work-related pressure and low self-esteem. Laura uses gentle challenge alongside encouragement to help people set and move towards personal goals. She pays attention to attachment styles and patterns such as control issues or avoidance to make sense of recurring problems.

Her sessions include practical reflection on self-care, birth order and communication patterns. This helps clients notice what keeps problems repeating and to try different responses. Laura also addresses issues like body image, codependency and feelings of emptiness in straightforward terms.

People who come to her often want clearer direction in their career or more ease in close relationships. She aims to create a space where clients can test new ways of thinking and behaving without pressure. The pace and focus are shaped by each person's needs.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Laura practises Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person brings. This approach encourages people to find their own solutions while the counsellor provides empathy, acceptance and a non-judgemental presence. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Her solution-focused elements mean sessions can include practical goal-setting and straightforward strategies to cope with stress and life changes. That way the work balances reflection with steps people can try between meetings. Deciding which mix of listening and practical planning to use is a shared process between counsellor and client.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the way they work as progress is made. This makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow a flexible rhythm of appointments. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when someone needs a quick review of coping steps rather than a full session.
