About Laura
Laura Edwards is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She meets people where they are and works alongside them to build clearer coping strategies. Laura holds BACP registration and brings seven years of professional experience to her practice.
Laura uses a mix of approaches that suit each person's needs. She listens first, then helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions connect.
Background and approach
Practical tools may include breath work, grounding exercises and straightforward problem-solving to ease daily pressures. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, body image and parenting stress. Laura also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and identity questions within the LGBT community.
Sessions aim to build safety and clarity so people can try new ways of coping. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes. Over time clients can expect clearer self-understanding and more reliable strategies for handling triggers.
Laura accepts clients across the United Kingdom and international clients who can work in English. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How somatic and practical approaches work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to the body's signals and simple movement or breathing techniques to help calm strong emotions and reduce physical tension. This can be useful for stress, anxiety and trauma-related reactions where the body holds a lot of the experience.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current ways of relating. It helps people notice repeating patterns and try new ways of communicating and feeling safer with others.
Client-Centred Therapy creates space for people to tell their story without judgement, with the counsellor offering empathy and gentle reflection to support self-discovery and personal choices.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as the relationship develops, so people can test what helps in a collaborative way.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These formats offer flexibility for follow-up check-ins, skill practice between sessions and ongoing support when attending in person is difficult.
