About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what matters to them. Laura communicates in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian and has five years of professional experience.
Her practice focuses on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps people facing relationship questions, grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, and issues around identity and intimacy.
Background and approach
Laura lists a wide range of concerns she can address, from chronic illness and caregiver stress to addiction and compassion fatigue. Laura blends her person-centred approach with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-focused work. That means sessions often combine listening and reflection with straightforward strategies you can try between meetings.
She adapts the mix to what each person says they need and what is helping in the moment. Clients can expect a warm tone and a steady focus on what they want to change. Sessions are paced to suit each person, with space to explore past events and to plan small, realistic steps forward.
Language choice is offered to help people express themselves more naturally. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. Laura works with people in the United Kingdom and offers online sessions in multiple formats for practical access.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions around those preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people have a longer, face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to keep progress between scheduled sessions. These options give flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when life is busy.
