About Laurie
Laurie Falconer is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling overwhelmed by low mood, anxiety, stress or life changes. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and invites clients to talk at a pace that feels manageable. Many come with worries about relationships, grief, self-esteem or the effects of past experiences.
She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Laurie holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Distinction from the University of Strathclyde and is also working towards a Psychology degree with the Open University. She recently qualified as a clinical counselling supervisor. Laurie uses a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert in their own life.
Sessions focus on understanding feelings, making sense of patterns, and finding practical ways forward. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, not full of jargon. In addition to offering one-to-one counselling, Laurie divides her time between multiple counselling services.
That means her diary can change, and she tries to be flexible when scheduling appointments. She speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure whether counselling might help, Laurie encourages an initial conversation to answer questions and discuss aims.
She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can explore what matters to them and try different ways of coping with everyday challenges.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Laurie will work with you to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means the work can change as your needs do, and you can try different ways of working until something fits.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a conversation much like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or more frequent touchpoints between deeper sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or busy days while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical strategies.
