About Laura
Laura Steele is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and big life changes. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Laura holds BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She works by tailoring conversations and a plan to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical ways to cope better day to day. Laura listens for what matters most and uses straightforward techniques to build confidence and reduce anxiety. Her work also covers attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and matters related to gender dysphoria.
She supports people dealing with body image, codependency, chronic illness and pain, and the emotional impact of separation or divorce. Laura has experience addressing topics that can feel difficult to name, including BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, dissociation, domestic violence, guilt and shame. She helps clients talk through communication problems, blended family challenges and forgiveness work when that is needed.
Her sessions aim to empower people to make changes that fit their life. She encourages practical steps, small experiments between meetings, and regular review of progress.

How Laura works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and will adapt the way they work as understanding grows. This means methods can shift over time to suit what is proving most helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy lives and keeping therapy consistent when in-person meetings are difficult. Some people prefer not to travel and find it easier to add a short check-in during a work break. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine and comfort level.
