About Laura-Anne

Laura-Anne Mervyn works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She uses a client-centred approach and has nine years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Laura-Anne offers a straightforward counselling style that focuses on listening and on what the client brings to sessions. She helps people talk through current problems and notice their own strengths. Sessions are practical and paced to the individual.

Her background includes work with people experiencing chronic health conditions, family conflict, and school-related counselling. She has supported clients dealing with addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem issues, and challenges around intimacy and sexual culture.

Additionally she has experience around neurodiversity and personality-related matters, including autism, attachment issues, avoidant and antisocial personality concerns, and BDSM, kink and alternative sexual culture. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric issues, and chronic pain or illness.

Clients can expect short, clear sessions that focus on practical coping strategies, clearer communication, and managing daily pressures. Laura-Anne aims to collaborate with each person to set realistic goals and use their existing strengths to make change.

How Client-Centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting a person's own understanding of their problems. In practice the counsellor gives space for the client to tell their story, reflects what they hear, and helps the person recognise their own strengths and choices. This approach is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Working together includes trying different ways of addressing problems and checking what helps. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt the approach as they go. That means the therapeutic method can change if something else would fit better for the person's needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into work or family timetables, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people continue with therapy if they move or are in a different country, while the counsellor and client decide the best practical arrangements together.
