About Laura
Laura Mitchell trained and practises as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and brings four years of clinical experience to her work. Laura describes her sessions as calm and straightforward.
She aims to make it easier for people to talk about what is worrying them. Laura focuses on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression and problems with relationships. She also helps people dealing with addiction, grief, parenting strain and career concerns.
Background and approach
Additional areas she supports include ADHD, attachment questions, eating difficulties and trauma and abuse. Her style is person-centred, which means sessions are guided by the person who comes to therapy. Laura listens closely and follows what matters most to the client.
She uses the Gottman Method ideas when relationship dynamics are the main concern. Sessions are described by Laura as non-judgemental and open. She works with each person to agree goals and practical steps they can try between meetings.
The aim is to create a steady space to talk and to make manageable changes at a realistic pace. Practical arrangements are offered online by video or phone, and by live chat or messaging when that suits. To begin, a simple matching process is used so people can choose a therapist and schedule sessions that fit their life.

Approaches Laura lists

Online support
The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and understanding between people in a relationship. It uses practical tools to reduce conflict and build connection, which can be useful when relationship patterns are a central concern.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively to identify which way of working fits best with a person's goals and preferences. She will check in about how methods are helping and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be a better fit when internet bandwidth is limited or a screen is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and keeping a therapy thread between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life.
