Laura Brown, BACP

Laura Brown practises as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and brings 16 years of experience to her work. She draws on that background to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with eating. She focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations and aims to make the first steps easier for people who feel uncertain about therapy.

Her approach is warm and respectful. She tailors discussions and plans to each person's situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. That means sessions can cover immediate coping skills, everyday routines, or longer-term patterns that affect mood and behaviour.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship communication problems and job-related strain. She also supports those dealing with body image, chronic pain, illness and disability, fertility and fatherhood issues, and compassion fatigue from high-stress roles.

In sessions she uses practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness techniques support calm and focus. Client-Centred and Solution-Focused approaches keep the work grounded in the person's goals and strengths.

She works in English and accepts international clients. If you prefer a straightforward, person-focused counsellor who will listen and plan with you, she may be a good match.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so people can set their own goals; it is useful for anyone wanting space to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and concentration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about your situation, goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, such as taking a break during a lunch hour or avoiding travel time. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how a session will be delivered. Many people find online sessions helpful for keeping continuity when life is busy or when they cannot attend in person.
