Laura Andrews is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and trauma. She also supports those struggling with self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, and ADHD. She works in English and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Background and approach

Laura encourages small practical steps as well as deeper reflection when it feels right. Her approach draws on client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, among other methods. That mix means conversations can shift between exploring personal meaning and trying concrete ways to change unhelpful patterns.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to build momentum and clarify goals. Laura has twelve years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including addiction and trauma, and with issues related to attachment, abandonment and impulse control.

Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She focuses on what will help most in day-to-day life while also attending to the bigger questions that can make a lasting difference.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Client-Centred Therapy is grounded in listening and support. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental attention so people feel understood and can talk through difficult feelings. This approach suits stress, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns where being heard matters.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses clear strategies and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and some addictive behaviours.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can be useful when stress, impulsivity or rumination make daily life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt the plan as things change. Decisions are made collaboratively and reviewed over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls provide a near face-to-face experience, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and to continue progress across different situations.
