Laura Fontanet , BACP

Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She practices from a person-centred perspective, trusting that people have the capacity to grow and heal when met with empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding. Her sessions are built around creating a warm, supportive environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Alongside her core person-centred approach, Laura has completed specialist training in Trauma Studies and Gestalt Therapy. She draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches, mindfulness techniques, and attachment theory when these methods suit a client’s needs. This flexibility allows her to tailor each session to the individual’s goals, whether the focus is short-term coping or deeper therapeutic work.

Laura has a particular interest in supporting people affected by anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity questions, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She emphasises a multicultural outlook in her practice and is able to work in English, Spanish, Catalan, and Italian. Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed, wanting to make sense of past experiences, or seeking greater self-understanding, Laura offers steady, person-focused support throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Laura Fontanet

Laura integrates client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and attachment-based ideas into her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own insights and pace guide the work - it is useful for building self-awareness and addressing low self-esteem or life transitions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-based work explores patterns formed in close relationships to help clients understand recurring difficulties in intimacy, trust, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions make it possible to access therapy with greater flexibility - whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow appointments to fit around work, family, and location constraints, and they support continued momentum in therapy when in-person meetings are not feasible. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and adapt interventions to the medium that suits each client best.
