About Laura

Laura Andrews is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and anger. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now. Clients are invited to talk frankly about worries and everyday struggles. The aim is to build practical steps that fit a person's life, rather than heavy theory or labels.

Her background includes 12 years working in therapeutic roles and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes helping people manage addictive behaviours and recover from past abuse.

In sessions she draws on a few clear approaches. Client-Centred Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, putting the client’s priorities at the centre. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when people want tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are used to help with focus, motivation and staying on track with goals. She adapts methods so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Laura aims to make the process steady and collaborative, helping each person set realistic goals and practical next steps.

Approaches that suit remote counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, which helps people feel heard and clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for concerns like relationship worries, low self-esteem and grief.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often chosen for anxiety, stress, anger and sleep or eating difficulties because sessions include clear strategies and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time if something is not working.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they save travel time, allow easier fitting of appointments around work or family commitments, and make shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to keep. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, breathing practices and goal-setting tasks to an online format so the therapy remains practical and focused.
