About Laura
Laura Andrews is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She also supports those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She works with a wide range of concerns including sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strains, ADHD and grief.
Her approach is straightforward and personal. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding practical steps forward.
Background and approach
She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. Laura uses a mix of methods to suit each person. Client-Centred techniques keep the conversation focused on the client's experience.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviours. Existential ideas are also part of her work, helping people think about meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels confusing. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are available too, offering ways to notice the present moment and build motivation for change.
With twelve years of experience and BACP registration, she brings practical experience to sessions. People can expect clear, calm guidance and help developing coping strategies they can use outside sessions.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It can be useful when someone feels stuck, confused about direction, or wants to explore what matters most. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel understood and can discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours to reduce symptoms such as worry or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss each method and adapt sessions to a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are reviewed and changed as needed, so people can try different ways of working and keep what helps most.
Online therapy can be flexible and convenient. Video calls allow more nuanced conversations through tone and facial cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. Together these formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, family and other commitments, while still focusing on meaningful change.
