Laura Edwards, BACP

Laura Edwards works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss, or relationship strains. She welcomes conversations about low mood, changes in motivation, and questions about identity and intimacy. Laura is described with the BACP credential and brings seven years of professional experience to her work in the United Kingdom.

Her approach begins by treating the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Conversations look at how past connections shape present patterns and where new ways of relating might help.

Laura draws on methods such as attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotion-focused work to help people understand feelings and try new responses. She also uses client-centred principles to make space for each person's pace and priorities. Techniques might include noticing unhelpful thinking, practising emotion regulation, and trying different ways to communicate with others.

Over seven years of work have included helping people facing grief, trauma, addictions, neurodiversity-related concerns, caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, and long-term health challenges. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier moods, and more dependable routines. The emphasis is on realistic goals people can use beyond the therapy room.

To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there, they can book sessions according to the therapist's availability and the subscription model in place.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early connections shape current patterns. In online sessions this can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings and try new ways of relating to others.

Client-centred therapy gives the person space to set the pace and agenda. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what matters most, which helps when someone is working through grief, identity or motivation issues.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviours and emotions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online work can include simple tasks between sessions to test new approaches in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and reviewed as needed to make sure the chosen approach feels useful.

Confirm exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy routines, cuts out travel time, and makes it easier to check in from different locations. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or audio-only options when that better suits their day-to-day needs.
