About Laura
Laura Saggers is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by relationship problems, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She offers a calm, approachable space to talk things through and work out practical steps for day-to-day life. Laura uses plain language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable for people who are worried or unsure where to start.
She draws on several counselling styles with a clear emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Background and approach
Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce stress and improve mood. Conversations focus on what matters now and on practical ways to try different responses between sessions.
Laura holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) degree and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, and she is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. She takes part in regular supervision and ongoing professional development to keep her practice current.
Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can suit different schedules and communication preferences. International clients who speak English may also work with her. Costs are handled through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time and vary by location.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability. The initial steps are kept simple so a worried parent or busy adult can get support without extra complication.
CBT and practical approaches for online counselling
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and many day-to-day problems where thinking patterns affect how someone feels and acts.She also draws on person-centred ideas that emphasise a warm, non-judgemental listening style so the client feels heard while practical tools are tried. The therapist will discuss which approach or blend of approaches makes most sense. Choosing a method is a collaborative process based on your goals and what feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations where seeing each other helps, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is useful for short check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and help people keep continuity of care even when their schedule changes.
