About Laura
Laura Adams is a counsellor registered in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She also helps those struggling with motivation, self-esteem and the challenges of life changes.
She approaches work from a psychodynamic perspective and sees people in live sessions by video or audio. That means she pays attention to past patterns and how they shape current feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make hidden patterns clearer and give space to notice what keeps repeating in relationships and self-image. Her style is collaborative and respectful. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Conversations are paced to each person, with time to reflect and name difficult feelings without rushing to a quick fix. Laura also offers help with issues like abandonment and attachment worries, body image, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic illness or pain. She can talk through communication problems, control struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Clients may bring issues such as midlife concerns, divorce and separation, loneliness, or questions about life purpose. The work is practical and reflective, aiming to help people notice choices and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Laura works online
Another useful strand in her practice is focused reflection on life changes and sense of purpose. That involves talking through recent transitions, naming fears or losses, and exploring small steps to rebuild motivation and direction. It is practical and talks about what life looks like now rather than only the past.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person's needs and goals. Together they will try ideas, reflect on what helps, and adapt the work as understanding grows.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking. Her stated model is live video or audio sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, cut out travel time and allow regular check-ins from different locations. Audio sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and may suit people who prefer not to use video.
