About Laura-Anne
Laura-Anne Mervyn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and family challenges. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, and career strain. Laura-Anne works with people navigating big life changes and those living with long-term health conditions.
She uses a client-centred approach that treats the person, not the problem. Sessions focus on listening, understanding each person's experience, and building on their strengths.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. Across nine years of practice she has worked in a range of settings, including school counselling and supporting people with chronic conditions. Her background means she is used to helping people cope with loss, adapt to change, and manage repeated stress or burnout.
Laura-Anne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the UK. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approach and online therapy options
Client-Centred Therapy is the core of her practice. This approach centres on understanding each person's perspective and building sessions around their priorities. It suits people who want a respectful, non-directive space to talk through anxiety, grief, relationship worries and life transitions.The therapist will treat finding the right approach as a shared task. She will work with each person to identify goals, try different ways of working if needed, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone work can fit into a short break and needs less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing reflections, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
