Laura Adams , BACP

Laura Adams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional practice in the UK and prior experience supporting people in a range of settings. Laura focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps people cope with life changes and offers support around issues like body image, attachment and forgiveness.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are offered by video or audio, and she aims to create a space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Laura draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns and feelings that affect everyday life. She uses this perspective to look at past experiences that influence current behaviour, while also addressing immediate concerns and practical coping strategies.

Many people come to her for help with communication problems, isolation and midlife questions. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness or caregiving stress, and men seeking help with life direction or control issues. Her approach combines listening with gentle challenge to promote insight and change.

Sessions are available in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Clients who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to be matched and scheduled.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Laura uses psychodynamic approaches to explore how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions; this can help when patterns keep repeating or when strong emotions seem hard to understand. She also blends practical coping strategies to address immediate problems like panic, low mood or relationship strain, helping people with tools they can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what is most helpful based on a person’s goals, background and preferences. That collaboration means plans can shift over time as needs change and new insights emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, and to keep contact between sessions when needed.
