About Laura
Laura Andrews helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and the everyday strain of life changes. Laura is identified by her BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they feel and think.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and conversational. She listens first and then works with each person to set simple, realistic goals. Her approach blends client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing.
She uses mindfulness exercises to help manage stress and existential ideas to make sense of big life questions. The mix is chosen to match each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method. Laura has 12 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns and behaviours.
That time has helped her keep therapy straightforward and focused on what changes matter most to the client. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment, impulsivity and control issues when they affect day-to-day life. Sessions can address specific problems like addictions, ADHD traits, body image or hoarding, and broader struggles like guilt, shame or feeling stuck.
The emphasis is on small, steady steps that build confidence and better coping over time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which methods to try. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted if something is not working.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a close, conversational session with visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit during a work break. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to match the format to different tasks and days.
