About Laura
Laura Edwards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, loss, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She writes plainly and works with each person at their own pace. Laura believes people know their story best and draws on that as therapy progresses.
She has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She listens for what matters most and helps clients name feelings and patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with actions to try between meetings. Laura uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how emotions shape relationships and self-understanding. She also draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the client’s lead and on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle thoughts that keep problems going.
Dialectical skills and mindfulness strategies are used when clients need steadiness and distress-tolerance tools. In practice Laura supports people through grief, trauma, addiction issues, parenting strain, body-image concerns and life changes. She helps with sleep and eating difficulties, chronic illness coping, and managing compassion fatigue for carers.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to individual needs. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She aims to help people build clearer ways of relating to themselves and others, and to find manageable steps towards more stable wellbeing.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Laura uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name core emotions and how those feelings shape their relationships and self-view. EFT can be useful for people who want to change patterns of shutting down or becoming overwhelmed by strong emotion.She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early bonds influence current ways of connecting and coping. These conversations help people relearn safer ways of relating to others and to themselves. Client-centred work underpins both approaches, so sessions follow what the client finds most important.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose whether to focus on emotion processing, changing unhelpful thinking, or building practical skills like mindfulness and distress tolerance.
Online therapy lets people work in ways that suit their life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit around busy days or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, notes between sessions or for people who prefer writing. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these formats to create a steady, flexible plan that fits individual needs.
