Integrative techniques and online support

Laura Craven uses an integrative framework that combines talking therapy with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and trauma. Mindfulness-based techniques are offered to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing emotional triggers. Psychoeducation is also part of her approach - explaining how common reactions to loss, trauma, or relationship strain operate so clients gain clearer insight into their experiences and feel more equipped to respond.

She also blends creative practices such as journalling into sessions to support reflection and emotional processing. Determining the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; Laura works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living outside the therapist's area. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the communication style that best fits an individual’s needs, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor care to each client.
