About Laura

Laura Adams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional practice in the UK and earlier experience supporting people in different settings. Laura focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood or struggling with self-esteem and confidence.

She works with people facing relationship strain and those managing life changes. Laura also supports people coping with issues such as abandonment or attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and isolation or loneliness. Her approach is influenced by psychodynamic ideas delivered in live video or audio sessions.

In sessions she treats the person’s story as the starting point. She helps people notice patterns that affect how they think and feel. Conversations are practical and grounded, and she aims to build on a person’s strengths rather than focus only on problems.

People can expect an exploratory style that looks at feelings and past experiences to make sense of current difficulties. Laura pays attention to how relationships and early experiences shape present reactions. This can help with issues such as anxiety, panic, guilt or trouble trusting others.

Her background includes years of earlier supportive roles before formal professional practice. That range of experience shapes a calm and patient way of working. Sessions take place using live audio or video, so it helps to check device and internet access before booking.

How psychodynamic ideas shape online therapy

Laura uses psychodynamic principles to help people understand how past relationships and experiences influence current feelings and reactions. That approach looks for recurring patterns and emotional themes, which can make sense of persistent anxiety or panic attacks and relationship difficulties.

She also values a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together what to focus on. That means exploring your goals and trying different ways of working until you find what feels useful. The therapist will check in about what helps and adjust the focus to match your needs and preferences.

Practically, sessions are offered as live video or live audio meetings, so you can take part from wherever you are. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they remove the need to travel to an office. If you prefer a short check-in or a session without video, audio-only may be an option; please confirm exact formats and scheduling before you book.

Many people find that working remotely keeps continuity when life is busy and allows regular contact without extra travel time. The therapist can discuss session length and frequency to suit your routine and goals.
