About Laura
Laura Bratley is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and behavioural methods to help people work through day-to-day difficulties.
In sessions she aims to keep conversation direct and practical. She listens to what people bring and helps them sort out immediate steps. Discussions often include ways to manage panic, social anxiety, workplace pressure and low confidence.
Her approach combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques. That mix lets her balance exploring personal experience with practising skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful thoughts.
She also addresses attachment and communication problems, guilt, shame and issues around forgiveness and life purpose. Practical skills may be used alongside talking to help with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms and the emotional effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone follows the site’s matching questionnaire and books a first session.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people express their thoughts and feelings. It supports exploration of relationship issues, grief and self-esteem by centring the person’s own experience.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks and workplace stress by teaching ways to reframe thinking and test new behaviours.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. DBT techniques can help with intense emotional reactions, guilt, shame and relationship conflict.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree on an approach together. That collaborative process shapes session focus and which techniques are used.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like this one, often adapt sessions to fit a person’s routine and goals.
