About Laura
Laura Edwards offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She keeps sessions straightforward and focuses on small steps that make daily life feel easier. Laura works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ongoing struggles with sleep, eating or motivation.
She uses a blend of approaches that suit the person in front of her rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
That can mean talking through patterns that keep problems going, trying simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking, or practising ways to manage strong emotions. Sessions are conversational and grounded in what the client wants to achieve. Laura has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She draws on this experience when tailoring support for issues like ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue, and for people coping with life changes or chronic health challenges. Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, and concerns around body image or sexual expression.
She also supports people dealing with loss, ageing-related worries, and the impact of long-term illness. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different needs. Laura accepts international clients and uses a flexible session format to help people access therapy in ways that fit their routine.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space and follows the client's priorities, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses short exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems by giving practical tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and try what feels most useful, adapting methods to match the client's goals and preferences as the work continues.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel, or using phone or text when video isn't convenient. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing contact between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to provide flexible, accessible care that suits different routines and needs.
