About Laura
Laura Steele is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and concerns linked to sexual orientation and gender identity. She works with questions about relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping people take the first steps towards feeling more able in day-to-day life.
She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a calm, sensitive style that focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs rather than a single rigid method.
In practice she will talk through what you hope to change and build a plan together. That might mean looking at thought patterns, developing coping strategies, or practising new ways of communicating. She pays attention to things like attachment, body image and the impact of long-term health issues when relevant to the problem at hand.
Laura also works with people who identify as autistic and with those involved in kink and alternative sexual cultures, offering non-judgemental support. Her work covers complex areas such as dissociation, codependency and recovering from separation or domestic violence.
If you prefer English sessions and are outside the UK, she accepts international clients. To begin you complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour to help reduce anxiety and build coping skills; this helps when panic, worry or stress make daily life harder. Another approach focuses on attachment and relationships to improve how people communicate and feel connected, useful for relationship strain and self-esteem concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try different ways of working when needed, and adjust the plan as you progress. You are involved in choosing what feels most helpful rather than being given a fixed programme.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or busy schedules, and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or quieter sessions when that better suits a person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote work helps sustain regular contact and supports steady progress without asking you to change other parts of your routine.
