About Laura
Laura Spagnuolo is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member and offers support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and phobias. She works online and speaks English and Italian.
Laura keeps sessions straightforward and warm. She listens with curiosity and without judgement. Conversations focus on what is happening now and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred care, with elements of existential thinking.
Background and approach
That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, how people experience themselves, and the personal questions that give life meaning. Sessions look at patterns such as avoidance, control, codependency, body image or eating-related worries. Practically, Laura helps people identify repeating patterns and small changes that can feel manageable.
She aims to help people regain a sense of choice and calm, build clearer communication, and repair difficult relationship dynamics when needed. Laura has four years of counselling experience and works with adults on issues like caregiver stress, grief, guilt, shame, intimacy concerns, sleep difficulties and anger.
She tailors the work to each person’s values and cultural background and uses a steady, exploratory pace to help people make sense of their lives.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and trust. Online sessions use this lens to notice patterns in relationships, including fears of abandonment, avoidance or codependency, and to build new ways of relating.Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathy, active listening and positive regard so people can explore what matters to them and find their own answers to issues like self-esteem, communication and life meaning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Laura will work collaboratively to decide which ideas and techniques suit each person's goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape pacing, focus and whether conversations look more at feelings, patterns or practical changes.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when fewer technical demands are needed or when a quieter check-in is enough. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, quick check-ins or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on steady, thoughtful progress.
