About Laura
Laura Ferguson is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Laura also lists blended family issues among her areas of focus.
She has worked in private practice, charities and custodial settings. That mix means she is used to straightforward, goal-focused conversations and practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions tend to centre on what the client wants to change and on building simple, usable skills.
Laura draws on a few different ways of working to match someone's needs. She uses client-centred conversations to follow what matters most to the person, and she brings in cognitive behavioural techniques when people want to manage worry, low mood or unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find momentum and clarify goals.
When blended household issues come up, Laura helps people talk through role confusion, routines and co-parenting pressures. She focuses on clear communication strategies and small, practical adjustments that can reduce tension at home. That includes checking what has worked before and what might be realistic now.
People who choose to work with Laura can expect direct, plain talk and collaborative planning. She asks about what matters, offers options grounded in her experience, and helps set short-term steps to try between sessions.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals so sessions stay relevant. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and repetitive negative thinking by practising specific techniques and homework tasks between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about the client's goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will try approaches and agree what to keep using based on what is helpful.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins during a break at work. It can also allow shorter or longer meetings where needed, and make it simpler to follow up on practical tasks agreed in sessions.
