About Laura
Laura Adams is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has also spent additional years supporting people in other settings before her current practice. Her stated focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression and coping with life changes.
She uses a psychodynamic approach in live video or audio sessions and believes the client is the expert in their own story. Sessions are conversational and aim to bring patterns into view. Laura works with feelings that come up around connection, loss, and past relationships, including concerns about abandonment and attachment.
Clients also come for help with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness. Guilt and shame are specifically listed among the issues she engages with. She supports people wrestling with midlife questions, life purpose, isolation and impulsivity.
In practice Laura tends to notice recurring themes from a person's past and how those themes affect present behaviour and emotions. She will listen for patterns in relationships and the ways people protect themselves. Conversations can shift between exploring feelings and looking at practical coping strategies.
Her sessions are offered by live video or audio. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Psychodynamic work and online sessions
Her stated approach is psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past relationships and patterns shape present feelings and behaviour. This method often helps when people want to understand recurring emotional responses, attachment concerns, or long-standing guilt and shame.She also frames sessions around listening and reflection, using conversations to make sense of repeated patterns. That involves noticing themes from earlier life and connecting them to current relationship difficulties or self-critical thoughts. The therapist and client decide together how much time to spend on reflection versus practical coping strategies.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Laura will help clients test what fits best by discussing goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. This collaborative approach aims to match method and pace to each person's needs.
Her biography lists live video and audio sessions as the formats she uses. If you need other arrangements, confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
