About Laura
BACP member. Four years' professional experience. Laura Mitchell works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression and ADHD. She also supports those coping with parenting strains, eating concerns, anger and self-esteem problems.
Laura uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the focus on the person's immediate concerns and feelings. She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship communication and interaction patterns are the main issue. Sessions aim to help people talk through what is happening and try out clearer ways of communicating.
Her approach is non-judgemental and straightforward. Laura helps people name feelings, look at practical patterns that cause distress, and consider small changes to test between sessions. She encourages honest conversation about what is working and what is not.
Clients sometimes bring complex or overlapping difficulties such as attachment problems, codependency, dissociation or the effects of trauma and abuse. Laura also notes experience with issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, cancer, caregiver stress and separation.
Work with Laura is described as regular counselling rather than a single-session intervention. She asks people to reflect on goals and what they want to focus on, and then schedules follow-up sessions to track progress. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
To start, people select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Laura uses client-centred and Gottman approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's thoughts and feelings and responding in a way that helps them clarify what matters. It suits people who want a steady, reflective space to sort through stress, anxiety, grief or life change.The Gottman Method looks at how people communicate and interact in close relationships. It uses practical exercises to reduce conflict and improve everyday communication, so it can help when relationship patterns and arguments are a central concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Laura will discuss goals, try out methods and adjust what she uses based on the client's needs, aims and preferences. That process is collaborative, and approaches may change as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week and having shorter check-ins when required. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to continue counselling around work, family or study commitments.
