About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has four years of professional experience. She aims to make it easier for people to take the first step toward getting help.
Her work focuses on common pressures that build up in day-to-day life. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and work through depression and grief. Relationship difficulties, parenting strain, career worries and changes in life are also frequent topics in sessions.
Background and approach
Laura uses a client-centred approach that puts each person’s priorities at the heart of the work. She listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them. She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are being explored or repaired.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try different ways of communicating, and build step-by-step plans to feel more in control. Conversations are paced to suit each person’s comfort and readiness.
People come for many reasons - trauma, attachment concerns, ADHD, eating difficulties, anger, and issues around separation are among them. Laura also supports those facing caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, and complex co-morbidity, helping clients untangle overlapping problems and set realistic goals. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Laura works online
The Gottman Method centres on understanding interaction patterns in relationships and building skills for clearer communication. It uses practical exercises to reduce conflict and strengthen connection, which can be useful when relationship problems are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what matters to the client, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Decisions about which approach to use are collaborative and based on the client’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, sessions outside usual travel time, or options that reduce the need to be on camera. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity while managing day-to-day commitments.
