About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP registration and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and relationship challenges.
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be anxious about asking for help. She creates a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be consistent and steady, giving time to untangle what feels confusing or painful. She listens without rushing and works at the client’s own pace. Laura uses client-centred ways of working, which means the person in front of her drives the goals and pace.
She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship conversations, focusing on clearer communication and practical habits that can change day-to-day interactions. These approaches are chosen to suit the presenting problem, not as fixed rules. Over four years she has supported people with a wide range of issues beyond mood and anxiety, including ADHD, eating concerns, anger, attachment and parenting stress.
She also works with people facing trauma, loss, cancer-related stress, and complex relationship patterns. Sessions are available online in a few formats to fit different needs. Laura encourages people to begin with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step to match on practical timings and preferences.
How these approaches work online
Laura uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters most to the individual. This approach means conversations follow the client’s concerns and goals, helping them find their own solutions and gain clearer self-understanding. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and adjusting to life changes.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are part of the work. That method looks at communication patterns and practical habits between partners, aiming to improve day-to-day interactions and reduce repeated conflict cycles.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt the way sessions run based on needs, goals and preferences rather than applying one method to everyone.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when seeing a screen is difficult. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, note-taking, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and differing routines.
