About Laura
Laura Williamson helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with depression, big life changes, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, and work-related compassion fatigue. Laura also addresses problems with sleep, eating, anger and career worries.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP. Laura has practised as a counsellor for around 10 years, mainly in charities and other organisations.
Background and approach
Her background means she has seen many different concerns and learned practical ways to help. Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are a place to speak openly without judgement and to think through what matters most to you.
Laura mixes humanistic ideas with psychodynamic thinking to help you understand feelings and patterns. Sessions begin by clarifying what you want to change and what you hope to get from therapy. Together you will agree small steps and ways to try them between sessions.
The focus is on what helps you feel more able in day-to-day life. Laura encourages people who are unsure about therapy to try a few sessions and see how it feels. She aims to offer steady support while helping clients build their own coping skills and resilience.

Online support
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try approaches that suit those goals, and review what helps. This is a collaborative process so you shape the focus and pace of sessions as you go.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who find writing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping a steady course of support.
