About Laura
Laura Steele is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and the practical fallout of life changes. She also supports people carrying guilt and shame and those needing help with motivation and confidence.
Laura keeps conversations straightforward and focused on practical steps. She listens for how past experiences affect current feelings and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes might make life feel more manageable.
Her background includes work with attachment issues, people on the autism spectrum, and those navigating gender dysphoria. She has also supported clients with body image, chronic health conditions, dissociation, and the impact of divorce or separation. BDSM, kink and alternative sexual culture are included among topics she has experience with.
People often come to her feeling overwhelmed by guilt, shame or regret. In those conversations she focuses on understanding where those feelings come from and on exploring practical ways to respond to them. She will discuss approaches and agree a plan that fits each person's situation.
To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on changing what people do and think in everyday situations. One common approach helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts that fuel guilt and anxiety. It involves noticing automatic thoughts, checking evidence for them, and trying alternative interpretations to reduce distress.Another useful method concentrates on emotional experience and behaviour in relationships. This approach looks at patterns such as avoidance or people-pleasing, and practises new ways of communicating that can shift how people feel about themselves and others. It can be helpful for relationship strain, attachment issues and shame rooted in connection problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods together, and adapt what they do based on how practical and helpful it feels for the client. Goals, preferences and everyday demands guide those choices.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life - for example a shorter check-in between commitments, or not needing to travel. It can also allow people to join from different locations when international counselling is needed, and helps some clients maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
