Laura Saggers, NCPS

Laura Saggers is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing relationship strain, career crossroads and the stress of life changes. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through painful feelings like anxiety, low mood, anger and emptiness. Laura uses everyday language and straightforward tools so people can start making small changes quickly.

With four years of experience, she draws on a mix of therapeutic ideas to suit each person. Her work includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), plus elements from person-centred and psychodynamic thinking when helpful. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Laura holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours, and she also has a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, which she notes when describing her practice.

She offers counselling for a wide range of concerns including parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating-related issues, and problems that follow separation or disaster. Practical tools, clearer thinking and better communication are common aims in her sessions.

To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange times that suit them. Laura mentions both shorter and longer-term work are possible, with options to match how people prefer to approach change.

How CBT and talking approaches work online

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, stress and problems with self-esteem by giving clear, practical steps to test and change beliefs.

She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand personal history and how it shapes current relationships. These approaches help people make sense of feelings like abandonment or emptiness and improve communication and boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit your goals and preferences. That means sessions can focus on short-term practical change or deeper exploration depending on what you need.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare or other commitments, and it can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they need a brief catch-up, while others choose video for a fuller, face-to-face style conversation. Confirm the available session options when you match with the counsellor.
