About Laura

Laura Spagnuolo is an integrative counsellor who offers one-to-one online work. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Laura aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel stuck, anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by life changes.

She listens with patience and curiosity to help people make sense of what is happening. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, patterns and what brings meaning to daily life. Laura encourages clients to notice repetitive relationship or work dynamics so they can make different choices.

Her practice draws on humanistic values and an attachment-based lens. She pays attention to early life experiences and how those shape current ways of relating. This includes looking at issues such as codependency, intimacy struggles and communication problems.

Laura also uses client-centred principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and experience. She supports people to build a stronger sense of self and to find ways of coping that fit their life. Sessions are conversational and reflective rather than directive.

With four years of experience, Laura works with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and eating or sleeping difficulties. She offers sessions in English and Italian and sees international clients, so people living outside the UK can enquire if that suits them.

How attachment, client-centred and existential ideas shape online work

Laura uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviours and can be useful for intimacy, codependency and communication issues.

She also draws on client-centred principles which place the person’s values and experience at the heart of the work. That means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own direction rather than imposing solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura will work collaboratively to explore what feels most helpful, adapting her emphasis as needs and goals become clearer. The choice of approach is guided by what the person hopes to change and how they prefer to work.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and removing travel time, which can make regular work more achievable. It can also allow people to access a therapist who speaks English or Italian even if they live abroad. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how appointments are arranged and can choose what best fits your routine.
