Laura Brown, BACP

Laura Brown is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, eating and food-related concerns, and depression. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion while adapting the work to each person. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps and practical ways to cope day to day. She uses a mix of talking, skill-building and reflection to help people manage difficult feelings and behaviours. Laura blends approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means clients can expect time to talk things through, tools to change unhelpful thoughts or routines, and simple practices to calm the mind. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify strengths and steps that move people towards their goals. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship challenges like communication and control issues. Additional areas include body image, chronic illness and pain, fertility and fatherhood questions, and compassion fatigue for those in demanding roles. The practical side of therapy is discussed together. Plans and goals are reviewed as things change, and the approach is adjusted to fit each persons needs. If you want a direct, empathetic therapist who helps you build coping skills, she may be a good fit.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Laura uses client-centred ways of working that start by listening to what matters most to you. This approach gives space for your concerns, values and goals to shape the sessions rather than following a fixed plan. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replacing them with more helpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and many everyday problems because it offers clear, practical strategies. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with you about what feels most useful and adjust methods as your needs and goals change. That collaborative process helps find practical steps you can use between sessions. Please confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them use tools and strategies in real life more quickly, while still having regular time with a registered or accredited professional to reflect and plan.
