About Laura
Laura Bourne is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, anger and sleep problems. Her work covers a wide range of other challenges too, including ADHD, intimacy issues and body image worries.
She uses a blend of practical and reflective approaches. Sessions usually focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps that are achievable.
Background and approach
Conversations are calm and straightforward, with time to talk through feelings and to build new ways of coping. Laura studied therapy and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and she has five years of experience in counselling. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, so she brings an awareness of how difficult experiences can shape reactions and moods.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a steady space where someone can be honest about painful thoughts. That honesty is used to notice patterns, try practical tools, and find what helps day to day.
When someone gets in touch they begin with a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit them. Options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Laura explains the way she works and collaborates on the plan for therapy as sessions progress.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss different ways of working and decide together what matches a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as therapy progresses and as new issues come up.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel like a face-to-face meeting when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the person prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find typed communication simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
