About Laura

Laura Williamson works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career matters and compassion fatigue. She describes her style as supportive and interactive and says she combines humanistic and psychodynamic theory in sessions. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has around 10 years' experience.

Williamson has worked in charities and other organisations, meeting people with a wide range of concerns and ages. She invites clients to talk openly and to look at the feelings and events that matter to them. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with time spent understanding what the person wants from counselling.

Her humanistic approach focuses on the person's experience and personal resources. The psychodynamic element looks at patterns and past difficulties that may still affect day-to-day life. Together these approaches aim to make it easier to spot unhelpful patterns and to consider different ways of responding.

In the first sessions she typically discusses goals and how to work together. She encourages people to be clear about what they want to change and to agree practical next steps. This helps keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday problems.

She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is a BACP member, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials, and has been practising for about 10 years.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Williamson combines humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. Humanistic work focuses on the person's present experience and personal strengths, helping people to talk through feelings and make choices that suit their life. Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and early influences, which can help explain why some issues keep happening and give new options for change.

Both approaches are discussed with the client so the best way forward is chosen together. The counsellor will ask about what you want from sessions and suggest ways to work that match your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also make sessions possible when attending in person is difficult, while the therapist and client agree practical arrangements that suit everyday life.
