About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has five years of practice supporting people through difficult moments.
She often helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression, as well as trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also supports those adjusting to life changes and people coping with relationship and intimacy concerns. Sessions can include practical tools to manage sleep, eating, anger and self-esteem struggles. Laura integrates ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment theory when helpful.
She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential perspectives to address emotions and meaning. This lets her adapt conversations and exercises to each person’s needs rather than follow a fixed formula. She offers therapy in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian, which can help when cultural background or language matters in the conversation.
Her multicultural outlook is part of how she listens and responds. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment work helps when someone struggles with closeness, trust or repeated relationship problems. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical experiments to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and adapt plans as needed so sessions feel relevant. That collaborative attitude helps people find what works for them rather than imposing one method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video suits fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
