About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and relationship concerns. Laura aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard right now.
Laura uses a straightforward, client-focused style. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person in front of her. She listens for what matters most, then works with each person to set practical, achievable steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, parenting strains, mood difficulties and challenges linked to ADHD. She also supports people navigating separation, bereavement, eating concerns and career-related stress. Codependency and attachment issues are among the additional areas she helps people understand and address.
Laura draws on client-centred methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship patterns need focused attention. The overall aim is to help people build clearer choices and steadier coping skills for everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered from the United Kingdom. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step help match needs and plan the first appointment.
Using client-centred and relationship-focused approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, listening stance. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of their experience. This approach can help when someone needs a steady space to talk through anxiety, grief or life changes.The Gottman Method focuses on relationship patterns and communication habits. It uses practical exercises to improve interaction and reduce recurring conflict, which can be useful for people wanting clearer ways to handle relationship stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laura will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative rather than fixed.
