Laura BrownBACP

Laura Brown is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, eating and food-related issues, low self-esteem and depression. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion and encourages people who are nervous about starting to reach out.

Her work is straightforward and practical. She tailors conversations and plans to fit what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all fixes.

Laura uses tools from client-centred work to keep sessions grounded in what matters to the person. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness techniques are woven in to build awareness and reduce tension.

She also brings solution-focused methods to goal-setting and short-term progress, useful when someone wants practical changes fast. This mix of approaches helps with common problems around grief, trauma, addictions, sleep and chronic pain or illness.

People often come for help with life changes such as divorce, fertility and fatherhood concerns or workplace stress. Laura adapts conversations to each situation so sessions feel relevant and manageable. If you are considering support for pregnancy and childbirth related stress, she lists Pregnancy and childbirth among her areas of focus and can talk through those concerns.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, works in English, and accepts international clients. Before booking it is sensible to confirm the current session formats offered.

How Laura’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to you and shaping sessions around your priorities. It helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and make sense of difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating-related patterns by testing thoughts and trying small behaviour changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with you about your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.

The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also mean not needing to be on camera for every session, or choosing formats that use less bandwidth if that helps. Registered and accredited professionals can use a range of approaches online, and Laura adapts her client-centred, CBT and mindfulness work to suit the way you prefer to meet.
