Laura-Anne Mervyn helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, and people facing big life changes. She also works with concerns around relationships, intimacy and sexuality, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and issues linked to self-esteem and career pressures.

Laura-Anne uses a client-centred way of working. She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the room. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people decide what they want to change and how to try different ways of coping.

Background and approach

Her background includes nine years of professional practice across settings that involved family concerns, chronic health conditions and school-based support. Those experiences helped shape a practical, down-to-earth style that focuses on what matters most to the client. She holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Sessions usually focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations aim to make feelings easier to understand and to find ways to respond differently to difficult situations. Clients may practise new communication skills, plan small changes, or work through themes from past events.

People who choose Laura-Anne can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through problems. The emphasis is on moving at the client’s pace and building on existing strengths. Support is offered in English and to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How client-centred care works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor provides attentive listening, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and coping with loss or trauma.

Working online, the counsellor and client decide together what approach fits best. That collaboration includes talking about what you want to achieve, how you prefer to work and trying different ways of meeting those aims. The therapist will adjust the way sessions run as your goals and needs become clearer.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and they give flexible ways to stay connected with a registered or accredited professional.
