Laura Brown trained in the United Kingdom and has worked in counselling for 16 years. She focuses on practical support for people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low mood or eating and body image problems. She aims to offer a calm, respectful space where people can begin to sort through difficult feelings.

Her way of working adapts to the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around what each client needs most - hands-on coping skills, thinking strategies, or time to make sense of recent changes.

Background and approach

She uses familiar, straightforward language rather than jargon so conversations stay clear and manageable. Common areas she helps with include work and career issues, relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns. She also pays attention to chronic illness, sleeping problems, and the emotional load of caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Body image and eating-related worries are a frequent focus. Laura draws on client-centred methods to listen closely and build practical plans with the person she is working with. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used as tools when they suit the client’s goals.

The work is collaborative and aimed at small, achievable changes. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and choosing times that fit their routine.

The first steps are kept simple so people can get support without extra stress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps when someone needs time to be heard and to untangle feelings before moving forward.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It gives simple practical techniques to reduce worry, improve sleep, or change patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit a person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or want flexible, on-the-go support. These options help people keep continuity with therapy while juggling work, travel or family demands.
