About Laura-Anne
Laura-Anne Mervyn offers support for people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and major life changes. She also helps with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career dilemmas and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. Her work includes support around ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related matters.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. Sessions focus on listening carefully, reflecting what matters, and helping people find their own solutions.
Background and approach
Laura-Anne treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Over nine years she has supported people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, blended family challenges and communication problems. Her background includes work with family conflict and school counselling contexts, which inform a practical, down-to-earth style.
In sessions she offers a calm, patient presence and aims to make conversations straightforward. People can expect an open, non-judgemental space to talk through painful memories, difficult choices or everyday pressures. The focus is on what will make life feel more manageable.
Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is noted as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy is delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, which can be matched to each person's needs and routines.

Approaches Laura-Anne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
That single approach is at the heart of Laura-Anne's practice, and she uses it to shape online work. Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt the style over time. Together they decide whether sessions should be more problem‑focused, exploratory or practical depending on the goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, ongoing processing between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines, while keeping the therapeutic focus on what the person needs.
