Laura Kun helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or the challenges of addiction. She works with concerns such as low self-esteem, anger, career uncertainty and major life changes. Laura draws on 11 years of experience as a counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Her approach starts from the view that the client knows their story best.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, practical steps and building on strengths. Laura aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to support people as they try out new ways of coping. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a calm space for people to talk through what matters.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when patterns of thinking and behaviour are getting in the way and need clear strategies. Solution-Focused work helps set small, realistic goals and notice progress quickly. Laura also draws on Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, purpose and feelings of emptiness.
Together these approaches are used in a straightforward, down-to-earth way. Sessions are practical and collaborative rather than overly technical. People who come to Laura often want help with family problems, attachment issues, body image, communication difficulties or the lasting effects of guilt and shame.
She aims to empower clients to make changes that fit their life and values.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Laura combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer both space to speak and practical steps to change. Client-Centred work focuses on empathetic listening and helping people feel heard, which can be useful for exploring relationship issues, grief or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches clear strategies for anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to focus more on problem-solving, meaning, or day-to-day coping.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and eye contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text or chat formats work well for people who prefer written reflection or want to fit sessions around a busy day.
