Laura Edwards, BACP

Laura Edwards welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can name what is causing them pain. Her style aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

Laura has seven years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She believes people know their own stories and already carry strengths to draw on. In sessions she helps clients notice those strengths and use them to tackle problems such as stress, anxiety and low mood.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people with ADHD, relationship difficulties, and challenges linked to identity and sexuality. The emphasis is on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapy with Laura is collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts her approach to those goals. That might mean learning coping skills, trying new ways of relating to others, or working through painful memories at a pace the client chooses.

If someone is ready to take the next step they are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process. Laura aims to help people create clearer choices and more manageable routines so they can move toward a more satisfying life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy emphasises an understanding, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean mixing approaches and adjusting pace so the work feels manageable.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can help fit sessions into busy lives - it can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Many people find it easier to keep momentum when sessions match their everyday routine, and therapists aim to adapt exercises so they work well at a distance.
