About Laura
Laura Nelson is a counsellor and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works from the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience supporting people with emotional and life difficulties. Laura aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people coping with life changes or career pressures.
Background and approach
Addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar and ADHD are also within her practice focus. Laura often works alongside people affected by chronic health conditions and by neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome. She also supports those facing family problems, blended family challenges, caregiver stress and divorce or separation.
Her style is collaborative and adaptable. She draws on a mix of approaches and chooses techniques that suit the person in front of her. Sessions aim to be practical, using small steps and everyday language so clients can try things between meetings.
Laura uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, client-centred work and mindfulness tools as part of her integrative approach. She will discuss options and tailor sessions to what the person needs and prefers. Therapy sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that works for the client.

Online support
How her approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice and name strong feelings, and then work with those feelings to change unhelpful cycles.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people make room for difficult thoughts while committing to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes because it combines practical exercises with values-based goals.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre of the work. The therapist offers empathic listening and reflection, helping people feel heard and discover their own solutions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and adapt what they do based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process aims to build a plan that feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for appointments, reduce travel time and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
