About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression, as well as practical struggles such as addiction and relationship problems. Her style is straightforward and non-judgemental.
She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable for people who are nervous about asking for help. She creates a calm space where clients can talk through their feelings and everyday pressures.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be a predictable, steady time to name what feels overwhelming. Laura listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help people notice patterns in their thoughts and reactions. Her work covers grief, eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, and a range of attachment or relationship challenges. Additional focus areas include parenting strain, caregiver stress and separation or divorce concerns. Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person at the heart of the process.
She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship skills and communication are central to sessions. Together these approaches guide practical steps and clearer conversations between sessions. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
The Gottman Method focuses on practical relationship skills and clearer communication. It offers tools for improving how partners talk and resolve everyday conflicts, and can be useful when relationship patterns are a central concern.
Finding the right way forward is a team effort. Laura will work with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to the person's needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
