Laura Mitchell, BACP

Laura Mitchell is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult moments.

She focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. She also helps people facing grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD challenges and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to be a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. She helps people name what is happening and think through practical steps that feel manageable.

Laura uses approaches that centre the person in the room. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's pace, and the Gottman Method when relationship skills and communication are the focus. The work is collaborative and guided by what the client needs most.

People often come seeking help with shifting patterns that no longer work. Laura supports clearer communication, coping strategies for strong emotions, and practical ways to manage day-to-day stress. She encourages small, consistent changes that add up over time.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of each session. It means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, helping them find their own solutions and make sense of feelings. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression and grief.

The Gottman Method focuses on communication and practical skills for relationship challenges. It offers exercises and clearer ways of talking so couples or partners can reduce conflict and build better patterns of interaction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Decisions about techniques and exercises are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins at busy times. It can also let people choose sessions that suit their energy level, such as talks focused on emotions one week and practical skill-building the next.
