About Laura
Laura Mitchell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief, depression, ADHD and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach centres on listening and on creating a non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what is on their mind. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on clear, practical steps for coping day to day. Laura uses straightforward language and keeps sessions focused and calm.
In practice she draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s experience. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and interaction patterns that affect close relationships. These approaches are used to look at how problems play out in everyday life and to build skills for managing them.
People typically come to her when life feels stressful, when a relationship has become difficult, or when parenting and family demands feel overwhelming. She will work with each individual to identify realistic goals and next steps. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that can ease pressure at home and work.
To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service operates via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How sessions work
Online approaches and how they help
Client-centred therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and for sorting out personal priorities.The Gottman Method looks at how people communicate and handle conflict in close relationships. It offers practical strategies to improve conversations, reduce reactivity and build clearer routines for interacting. It is often used when relationship patterns are making daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt methods so they fit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process where options are reviewed and changed as progress is made.
