About Laura
Laura Andrews is a counsellor with 12 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Laura aims to make the first step feel less daunting by offering steady, practical support and a listening ear.
She keeps sessions simple and down to earth. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be changed. She encourages openness and honest talk so people can name difficult feelings without fear of judgement.
Background and approach
Laura draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses client-centred listening to understand individual experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques help with staying present and building momentum. Common concerns she works with include relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, anger, and life transitions. She also supports people facing trauma, ADHD-related challenges, attachment and abandonment worries, and addiction recovery.
Laura tailors conversations to the issue in front of her and the goals people bring. Sessions may feel practical and warm. People leave with concrete steps to try between meetings and clearer ideas about what they want next.
The tone is respectful and collaborative, aiming to restore some control and hope as people move forward.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, an active method that looks at thoughts, moods and behaviours. CBT helps identify patterns that keep problems going and then tests small, practical changes to shift those patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. Laura discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adapts the mix of methods as work progresses. She treats the selection of techniques as something to review together, not a fixed plan.
Online formats give practical advantages. Video calls let people meet face to face when they cannot attend in person. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, day-to-day support between sessions, or for anyone who prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
