About Laura
Laura Nelson is a counsellor and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Laura focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression alongside anxiety, stress and relationship concerns.
She uses a blend of approaches to suit each person's situation. Sessions are conversational and practical. Laura aims to help people build coping skills, understand patterns, and make small changes that matter day to day.
Background and approach
Laura has experience supporting people affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity, and she also helps those facing grief, body image worries, low self-esteem and confidence issues. She draws on tools from cognitive work, mindfulness and emotion-focused practice to match what feels most useful for the person in front of her. Her style is warm and steady.
She listens carefully and encourages people to set manageable goals. Therapy can include talking through difficult memories, practising new ways of responding, or planning small steps to improve sleep, routines or relationships. Laura asks people to take the pace they need and to shape the work together.
The aim is to reduce the hold of distressing thoughts and feelings and to increase day-to-day wellbeing in ways that feel realistic and sustainable.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, and she will adapt the plan as progress is made. The choice of approach can change over time, and the therapist will check in regularly about goals and what is working.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
