Laura Ferguson

Laura Ferguson is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the UK. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing relationship and family difficulties, career pressures and life changes. Laura works from the view that people already have strengths and resources they can use to move forward.

In sessions she listens first and builds on what each person brings. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses practical tools alongside open conversation so people can try things between meetings and see what helps.

Laura uses a mix of well-known approaches, including client-centred work that focuses on the person’s experience and cognitive behavioural techniques that look at thoughts and behaviours. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change, and psychodynamic ideas can be useful to understand long-standing patterns.

Her experience spans private practice, charity work and custodial settings, which has shaped a flexible approach to different life situations. She explains options clearly and supports people to set realistic goals.

Sessions are presented as a space to talk, reflect and try practical strategies. Laura encourages small steps that add up, with attention to what each person needs right now and how to move forward from there.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to build trust by listening without judgement. It helps people feel heard and to identify their own goals and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, anger and low mood through small, testable changes.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way of working that helps when someone feels unsure about change. It supports people to find their own reasons to try new behaviours and to set realistic steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simple to continue work through life changes while keeping a regular routine with a registered or accredited professional.
