About Laura

Laura Spagnuolo works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression and self-esteem using an integrative, humanistic approach. She is a BACP member and has four years' experience working with individual clients online.

Laura listens to each person's story and focuses on how early life and past relationships affect current patterns. She helps people notice repeated ways of behaving and relating, and to decide which patterns to keep and which to change. Sessions aim to increase awareness and practical choice rather than offering quick fixes.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles alongside existential themes. That means attention to how people form emotional bonds, to their present concerns, and to questions about meaning and values. Laura uses conversation and reflection to help people understand how they relate to themselves and others.

She also supports people with issues around eating and sleeping, anger, coping with life changes, and specific concerns such as abandonment, codependency, body image and communication problems. Practical topics like caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and ageing are included in her focus areas.

Sessions are conducted in English and Italian for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The emphasis is on building a collaborative working relationship so clients can gradually find new ways of handling difficulties and feeling more in control of their day-to-day lives.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with relationship issues, abandonment and patterns of closeness or distance. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, using listening and reflection to help someone clarify feelings and choices. Existential therapy addresses questions about meaning, values and life choices and can be useful when people feel stuck, empty or unsure about purpose.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide what fits best based on the client's needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the way she works as those needs change.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to arrange appointments across locations. The biography indicates she works with individual clients online, so check the current session options before booking to confirm timing and format. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments while balancing other commitments.
