About Laura
Laura Carroll is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, depression and the strain of life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, LGBT issues, grief and self-esteem difficulties.
Laura names parenting and ADHD among areas she commonly addresses. Her style centres on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She treats each conversation as a chance to hear what matters most. Clients can expect a calm approach that begins by listening and finding strengths to build on. Laura uses client-centred therapy to keep the work grounded in the client’s priorities.
That means sessions often follow the client’s lead while the counsellor reflects, clarifies and offers practical ways forward. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated patterns that show up in relationships and everyday life. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as understanding how past patterns influence present choices.
Routine techniques include talking through current problems, spotting unhelpful cycles, and trying small changes between sessions. Laura encourages people to set realistic goals and to move at a manageable pace. People come to her for help with parenting pressures, coping strategies, and repairing intimacy or relationship strain.
She aims to make the first steps feel less daunting and to support steady progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. Sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients make choices that feel right for them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns and relationship questions because it keeps the work practical and client-led.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat over time. It helps people notice how past experiences influence current reactions and relationships. This can be helpful for grief, intimacy-related issues and recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a client’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on present-day coping strategies at first, then exploring deeper patterns later on, or mixing elements of both approaches.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give choice and flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal feedback. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins, reflective writing and people who prefer typed communication. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
