About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship struggles. She holds BACP registration and has four years of professional experience. Laura offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings and situations.
She encourages small steps and recognises how hard it can be to begin therapy. In sessions she focuses on practical ways to manage overwhelming emotions.
Background and approach
She helps people develop clearer routines, coping strategies and communication habits that can ease day-to-day pressure. That practical support is used alongside space to process grief, trauma, eating concerns or anger. Laura uses Client-Centred Therapy to put the person’s experience at the heart of conversations.
She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to support clearer communication around relationship issues. These approaches are used to suit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. She has particular experience supporting people with ADHD, attachment difficulties, loss and the stresses that come from caregiving or long-term illness.
Laura also works with those facing career change, self-esteem problems and control or codependency patterns. Sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Information about fees and scheduling is provided through the sign-up process and the service’s subscription model.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose times that fit their routine.

How Laura’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and making space for their thoughts and feelings. It aims to build trust and self-awareness and can help with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem by keeping the session centred on what matters to the client.The Gottman Method emphasises clear communication and practical strategies for handling relationship difficulties. It offers ways to notice patterns, improve conversations and reduce recurring conflicts, which can be useful when relationship stress affects everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss goals and preferences and adapt these methods to match each person’s needs. That collaborative decision helps shape the focus of sessions so they feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to build a steady routine of support around work, school or caregiving duties.
