About Laura
Laura McAuliffe is a BACP counsellor with nine years' experience working with adults. She offers a calm, straightforward way of talking through hard problems and helping people find clearer steps forward. Laura aims to build trust quickly and treats people with respect and sensitivity.
She wants clients to feel heard from the first session. Her work focuses on depression, anxiety and stress, and on relationship and family difficulties. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, and issues around abandonment and attachment.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at understanding what matters most to the person and finding manageable ways to cope. Laura uses an integrative approach that draws on practical techniques suited to each person. That can mean talking through patterns, trying new behaviour strategies, or practising ways to soothe strong emotions.
The emphasis is on simple, useful tools you can try between sessions. She structures sessions so people leave with one or two clear ideas to practice. Over time the small changes add up, which many find easier than aiming for big overnight shifts.
The counsellor works collaboratively and adapts the pace to each person’s needs. Sessions are conducted in English and take place online in the United Kingdom. The tone is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at people who want realistic support for depression, grief, relationship strain and life transitions.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is useful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact and can help people fit therapy around work and family commitments.
