About Laura
Laura Edwards is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people find steadier footing during hard times. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and believes people are the experts on their own lives. Laura sees stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and codependency among the issues people bring to sessions.
She blends practical and relational approaches in session. That means talking through thoughts and behaviours and also looking at how relationships shape feelings. Sessions focus on small, useful changes that can make daily life easier and reduce overwhelm.
With seven years of experience and BACP registration, Laura frames therapy as a collaborative process. She emphasises strengths and helps people notice what already works for them. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her background includes work with a range of concerns such as intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with life transitions like bereavement, caregiving stress, chronic illness and ageing issues.
In practice Laura draws on approaches that help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships. She encourages practical coping skills alongside discussions about past attachments and current patterns. If you want a calm, down-to-earth counsellor who values your experience, she may be a fit.
Approaches that shape online work
Laura commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current emotional patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly in certain relationships and supports changing those patterns.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's priorities and paced to what feels manageable. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try different techniques to see what helps. Together you decide what to keep and what to change as work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find it simpler to arrange sessions around work or caregiving, while others like the continuity of meeting remotely during transitions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods so they remain practical and goal-focused.
