About Laura
Laura Ferguson is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression and difficulties with self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and family concerns and with workplace or career stress.
She works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on building awareness of strengths and on practical steps that feel achievable. Laura aims to make the first conversations straightforward and non-judgemental so people can begin to feel steadier.
Background and approach
In practice she blends talking therapies to match what each person needs. Cognitive approaches help tackle unhelpful thinking patterns while client-centred work focuses on what matters to the person. Motivational techniques support people who feel stuck or unsure how to move forward.
Her background includes independent practice, work with charities, and time supporting people in custodial settings. That variety has shaped a flexible style suited to different life situations. Laura keeps sessions focused on clear goals and small changes that add up.
People come for short-term help with a specific problem or for longer support through life changes. She pays attention to safety and practical coping skills alongside emotional work. The aim is to leave people better able to manage day-to-day demands and to make choices that match their values.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions include practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to develop coping skills for anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura will work with clients to decide which methods feel helpful and will adapt them as goals change. Together they set priorities and check progress along the way.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, people who prefer writing, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. Registered and accredited professionals can use these options to make therapy more accessible and to maintain continuity between sessions.
