About Laura
Counsellor, BACP registered, with 10 years' experience. Laura Williamson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Laura works in a practical, interactive way. She listens and asks questions to help people make sense of what is happening. Sessions are a place to talk through emotions and decide next steps together.
Her approach draws on humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. That means she focuses on the person in front of her while looking at how past experiences shape present feelings. Conversations aim to link patterns of thought and behaviour with current struggles so people can try new ways of coping.
She has worked in charities and organisations with a wide range of clients and presenting problems. That background informs how she responds to stressful life events and relationship concerns.
Sessions begin with a discussion about what someone wants from counselling and how they prefer to work. The emphasis is on clear, practical steps alongside exploring feelings. People who want straightforward conversation and reflective work often find this approach useful.
Sheet 2
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Laura draws on humanistic methods which focus on understanding someone’s experience in the here and now and encouraging clearer self-expression. This approach helps when people want to make sense of their feelings and build confidence in their own choices.She also uses psychodynamic ideas that look at how past experiences influence current reactions. This work helps uncover recurring patterns in relationships and emotions so people can try different responses going forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the focus as needs change.
