About Laura
Laura Steele is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship worries, and challenges linked to LGBT identity. She works with people on self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is anxious about therapy.
With five years of professional experience, Laura adapts conversations to suit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She tailors the pace and focus so sessions feel practical and relevant. That might mean looking at everyday routines, communication habits, or ways to handle difficult feelings. Laura also supports people dealing with body image, attachment concerns and the effects of chronic illness or pain.
She has worked with people affected by divorce, separation and domestic violence, and with those exploring gender dysphoria or issues around kink and alternative sexual culture. Her work includes helping people with dissociation, codependency, guilt and shame, and the emotional impact of disasters or other sudden changes.
She pays attention to how relationships and communication affect wellbeing, and helps clients try new ways of relating. Sessions are delivered in a way that suits each person. Laura focuses on practical steps, clear goals, and steady progress.
She aims to support people to feel more confident and better able to handle life’s pressures.

Online support
Another approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns. It helps people understand how past experiences shape current ways of relating and offers tools to change unhelpful interaction habits. This is useful for improving communication and rebuilding trust in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences and circumstances and suggest methods that match what you want to change. Together you can try a few ways of working and adjust the plan if something does not fit.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video lets you keep visual contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be quicker to arrange. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or days when writing feels easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer all these formats to increase accessibility and flexibility.
