About Laura

NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) with eight years' experience. Laura Ferguson helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, and concerns around self-esteem. She works with clients who are exploring identity, intimacy, workplace difficulties, trauma and abuse, and life changes.

Laura practises in the United Kingdom and has worked across private practice, charity settings, and custodial environments. She approaches sessions believing clients know their own stories and have strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and reflection rather than labels or jargon.

Her style combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with elements of Motivational Interviewing and Psychodynamic thinking. That means she listens closely, looks for patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and helps people set realistic goals. Sessions often include talking through current problems and trying small, concrete strategies between meetings.

People working with Laura can expect a conversational approach that aims to clarify difficulties and identify what can change. She supports work on issues like blended family challenges, commitment or infidelity concerns, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm thoughts. Career and workplace struggles, isolation, and compassion fatigue are also within her focus.

New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then can schedule an initial appointment. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and helping the client make sense of their own experience. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and workplace worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as needs become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow quicker check-ins during a work break, or offer a shorter session style if that suits practical needs. Registered and accredited professionals often use these formats to reduce travel time and to help therapy fit around everyday life.
