Laura Mitchell, BACP

Laura Mitchell is a counsellor with a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential and four years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addictions or life changes. Her approach is calm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable.

She creates an open environment where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and emotions. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with space to reflect and to set practical next steps. Laura emphasises simple, steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes work with people dealing with parenting pressures, career concerns, eating issues and anger. She also supports those affected by trauma, attachment difficulties, ADHD, and separation or divorce. Additional areas she has worked with include caregiver stress, cancer-related issues and blended family challenges.

In practice she uses approaches that centre the client’s experience and works with relationship patterns. That can help when people want to improve communication, rebuild trust, or manage intense feelings. Laura likes to pair listening with practical ideas that fit day-to-day life.

Therapy with her is presented as a collaborative process. Clients complete a short matching questionnaire to start, then schedule sessions according to Laura’s availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, follows the client’s priorities and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, grief and life transitions where being heard matters.

The Gottman Method focuses on communication and relationship patterns. It looks at how people talk, manage conflict and rebuild connection. This approach can help when relationship strain or recurring arguments are a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which way of working fits best. That collaborative conversation can include trying a different emphasis if things are not progressing as hoped.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of care during life transitions while working on clearer communication and daily coping strategies.
