Laura Andrews, BACP

Laura Andrews is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 12 years of professional experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Laura adopts a compassionate, person-focused approach that helps clients explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. She aims to build a supported space where practical coping strategies and personal reflection can be balanced to address immediate difficulties as well as longer-term goals.

Clients come to Laura for help navigating a wide range of life challenges, from managing anxiety and stress to addressing the aftermath of trauma and rebuilding self-worth. She emphasises collaboration, working with each person to identify priorities and develop steps toward a more fulfilling, resilient life. Taking the first step toward change can feel daunting; Laura offers steady professional support to help people move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura Andrews draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where clients lead the conversation and their own goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and exploring personal values.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT can be practical for managing anxiety, low mood, stress, and some patterns linked to addictions or sleep and eating difficulties.

Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a way to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions. Mindfulness techniques can support coping with stress, improving focus, and easing symptoms that stem from chronic worry or trauma-related tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laura works collaboratively with clients - listening to needs, discussing options, and adapting methods so the plan fits the person rather than expecting the person to fit a single method.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, provide varied ways to communicate, and allow registered professionals and therapists to tailor support in ways that suit each client.
