Laurie Falconer offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She works in a straightforward, person-centred way and helps people talk through life changes, relationship strain, parenting challenges and issues like addiction or anger. Sessions are aimed at creating a space to think clearly and decide what matters next.

Laurie is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Background and approach

She holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy with Distinction from the University of Strathclyde. She has four years of experience and has recently qualified as a clinical counselling supervisor. Her approach starts from the assumption that the client knows their life best.

Laurie listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people make sense of feelings and patterns. Together they look at small practical steps alongside exploring deeper issues from the past. Laurie divides her time between several counselling services and keeps studying, currently taking Psychology with the Open University.

That ongoing learning informs how she responds in session and how she supports people through change. Deciding to start therapy can feel hard. Laurie encourages questions and an initial conversation about what someone hopes to achieve.

She aims to work at a pace that feels comfortable and to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

How Laurie’s approaches work online

Laurie works from a person-centred perspective which focuses on listening and understanding your experience. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety, grief, low mood or life transitions and it aims to support self-understanding and personal choices.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that encourage practical change alongside reflection. These techniques help people break unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies for stress or anger, and work through past hurts that affect day-to-day life.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Laurie will collaborate with you to identify which approach fits your goals and preferences. Together you can adjust methods as you go, trying practical exercises or conversational exploration depending on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation when you want face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, brief reflections or people who find writing easier than talking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family life.
