Laura Mitchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction or loss. Laura aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about what matters to them.

Her sessions often centre on what the person needs right now.

Background and approach

She listens first and helps people find practical ways to manage difficult feelings. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in what the client brings to the room. Laura uses client-centred methods to support self-awareness and personal change.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are central concerns. These approaches are used to help with a wide range of worries, including parenting strain, work stress, grief, and questions about identity and behaviour. Over time Laura helps people build coping skills for anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and life transitions such as separation or bereavement.

She also offers support around attachment issues, codependency and caring for someone with illness. Sessions are delivered remotely using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people clarify their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for stress, low mood, self-esteem and many everyday struggles.

The Gottman Method looks at patterns of interaction and communication in relationships. It provides clear ways to improve listening, reduce conflict and rebuild connection when trust or communication has been damaged. This method can help people dealing with relationship breakdowns, commitment worries and recurring arguments.

Deciding which approach feels right is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to identify goals and try methods that match those aims. Over a few sessions they will review what helps and adjust the plan accordingly.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, journal-style reflection or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules while keeping continuity of support.
