About Laura
Laura Steele is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Laura focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier day to day.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. She pays attention to attachment issues and communication problems when they affect relationships and confidence.
Laura also has experience supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, and blended family issues. She is familiar with discussions around gender dysphoria, BDSM and alternative sex culture, and the effects of divorce or separation on wellbeing. These topics are handled directly and without judgement.
In practical terms she helps clients build coping strategies, practise clearer communication, and set manageable goals. Sessions can include exploring feelings, rehearsing conversations, and planning next steps for changes outside therapy. The emphasis is on clear, doable work rather than lengthy theory.
People who choose Laura often want an accessible, down-to-earth counsellor who will help them sort out immediate problems and make steady progress. To begin, clients use the service's matching process to arrange a first session and talk through what they want to achieve.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Laura describes her work as evidence-based and practical. One common approach is person-centred conversation where the counsellor listens and helps the client clarify what matters most. This method is useful for stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it focuses on the client’s priorities and immediate goals.Another frequently used method involves identifying unhelpful patterns and rehearsing alternatives in session. This approach helps when anxiety, attachment issues, or communication problems keep repeating in everyday life. It involves noticing triggers, trying new responses, and reviewing what worked afterwards.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose techniques that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean adjusting the focus as therapy progresses and checking in on what is helping.
