About Laura

Laura Webber works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues. She describes clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on helping them use their strengths to address difficult situations. Laura is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' professional experience.

She offers a straightforward style of counselling that encourages people to talk through what matters to them. Sessions aim to clarify patterns, identify practical steps and build ways of coping that fit day-to-day life. Laura uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method, and she talks clients through how each approach might help.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include grief, parenting strains, attention difficulties such as ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and career questions. She also lists support for LGBT issues, intimacy-related challenges, bipolar and depression, and the effects of life changes.

Additional areas Laura focuses on include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality traits, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control problems. She also names divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness and finding life purpose.

Sessions are delivered in a conversational, client-centred way that can also draw on cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon. People who want to begin are asked to follow the provider's online matching and booking process to arrange a first meeting.

How her approaches can work in online sessions

Laura draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections can affect current feelings and reactions; this can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment or intimacy issues. She also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions; this approach suits many presenting concerns and supports people to make their own decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different approaches with the client and decide together what to try based on goals, preferences and how the sessions are going. That collaborative process helps shape the practical focus of counselling.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also allow shorter sessions or appointments that suit work breaks or childcare arrangements, depending on the session formats offered.
