Laura Edwards , BACP

Laura Edwards is a UK-based counsellor credentialed with the BACP and brings seven years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional challenges. She works with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem concerns, eating difficulties, depression, and relational problems, offering practical and empathic guidance tailored to each person.

She holds the view that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can help overcome the difficulties that have arisen. Laura aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore feelings, build coping skills, and reconnect with what matters to them. Taking the initial step toward a more fulfilling life often takes courage, and she focuses on meeting clients with acceptance and encouragement as they begin that process.

Laura supports people through life transitions, setbacks, and complex emotional issues, helping them identify achievable steps toward change. Her approach emphasizes collaboration, respect for individual experience, and practical strategies to make progress between sessions. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and offers multiple ways to engage in therapy to suit different needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura Edwards integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients make meaningful change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional response; it can be helpful for people working with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and respect for each person's perspective, supporting self-exploration and growth when someone is feeling stuck or unsure of their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be effective for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and practical tools to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Laura is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, helping clients maintain momentum as they work toward their goals.
