About Laura
Laura Edwards is a counsellor who aims to help people burdened by stress, anxiety or low mood. She uses a calm, down-to-earth style and believes clients know their own story best. Laura speaks plainly and offers steady support while people work through difficult feelings.
She has BACP accreditation and seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. That time has involved helping people cope with grief, trauma and relationship difficulties as well as issues such as addictions, sleep problems and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Depression is one area she commonly addresses alongside anxiety and coping with life changes. In sessions she focuses on what feels manageable right now. Conversations often start with what is most pressing and then build practical steps to reduce overwhelm.
She draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, try different coping skills and strengthen emotional connection to themselves and others. Laura often uses client-centred listening to create space for people to speak without judgement. She also brings in cognitive behavioural ideas to test unhelpful thoughts and attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Practical matters such as sleep, motivation and everyday coping are commonly part of the plan. People who choose this approach leave with clearer next steps and simple tools they can use between sessions.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working. Decisions about which tools to use are made together, and plans are adjusted over time if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make fitting sessions into life easier. Video calls let people see visual cues, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options suit those who prefer writing or need regular brief contact. These formats make sessions more flexible for different schedules and circumstances.
