About Laura-Anne
Laura-Anne Mervyn is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, stress and major life changes. She offers a calm, respectful space to talk about grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns. She believes people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives, and uses that view to shape collaborative sessions.
Her approach is warm and client-focused. Sessions centre on what the person wants to change and the practical steps they can try.
Background and approach
Conversations stay grounded and straightforward, with the aim of making small, steady progress rather than chasing quick fixes. Laura-Anne has worked with people facing long-term health conditions and with those navigating parenting and family tensions. She also supports people who are dealing with addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy- or relationship-related worries.
Her practice includes help for those coping with career pressures, low self-esteem and difficulties around attention and mood. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration reflects a commitment to ongoing professional development and recognised standards of practice in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs. Laura-Anne aims to work at a pace the client finds comfortable and practical.

Approaches Laura-Anne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The emphasis is on collaboration. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and agree what to try together based on the client’s needs and preferences. Finding the right fit is part of the process, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations where seeing facial expressions helps. Phone sessions can work better when a shorter check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for ongoing support, quick check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to speaking.
These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit into daily life, whether someone needs a regular weekly slot, occasional check-ins, or a different pace while managing work, family or health commitments.
