Laura has a keen interest in attachment patterns and styles, and she also works with issues such as shame, loss and questions of personal or cultural identity. She approaches therapy with warmth and empathy and encourages clients to explore their experiences and needs at their own pace. The first session is used to consider how best to work together, to answer any questions about her way of working and to identify the main issues the client wishes to address.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support
Laura draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating, helping clients understand issues such as trust, closeness and separation. This approach can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns or relationship difficulties.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach that emphasizes empathy, acceptance and the client’s own ability to find direction. This style supports self-exploration and can help with low self-esteem, life transitions and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options openly and adapt the work as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent contact when that suits a client’s schedule. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family commitments and other responsibilities, and they let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
