About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and life changes. Laura also lists ADHD, parenting concerns and blended family issues among her areas of focus.
She keeps sessions straightforward and non-judgemental. Clients can expect a space to talk through what is on their mind and to make sense of feelings without pressure. The first contact begins with a short matching questionnaire and then a first session is scheduled.
In sessions she uses person-centred ideas to follow what the client brings. That means listening carefully and helping people notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour. She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship skills and clearer communication are needed to address recurring conflicts.
She often helps people break down big, overwhelming problems into small steps. That can include planning how to manage stress day-to-day, setting boundaries, or practising ways to handle confrontation calmly. Laura aims to work at a steady pace that fits each person’s situation.
Her background includes supporting people through grief and loss, addiction issues and major life transitions. People looking for practical conversations about blended households, co-parenting tensions and changing family roles may find her approach relevant. To begin, clients complete the online questionnaire and book their first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings. The counsellor reflects feelings and helps the client name thoughts and emotional patterns, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and grief. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication skills and practical techniques for reducing repeated relationship conflicts, such as clearer conversation rules and rebuilding trust after repeated fights.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will assess needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and discuss which methods to emphasise. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking. The practical advantage of remote sessions is that they can fit into everyday life more easily - for example, a shorter check-in between work tasks, speaking without travel time, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, communication practise and planning work to an online setting, helping people manage blended household pressures and co-parenting conversations without needing to rearrange the whole day.
