Laura Carroll, BACP

Laura Carroll is a therapist credentialed in the United Kingdom who holds BACP status - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings three years of professional experience to her work. She focuses on supporting people dealing with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, navigating LGBTQ+ related concerns, and addressing relationship difficulties.

Laura works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that clients already possess strengths that can help them face and overcome challenging circumstances. She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage and acknowledges and respects that decision. In sessions she listens for what matters most to the individual and helps them build on the resources they already have while exploring practical and personal ways to move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura Carroll integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy into her online practice to offer different pathways for understanding and change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive relationship where the client's perspectives and choices guide the work; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and building self-esteem. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and recurring emotional patterns influence present feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for understanding relationship difficulties and deeper emotional issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Laura treats it as a collaborative conversation. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most useful, adjusting her style so the work fits each person's needs and pace. Registered professionals commonly combine methods to best support an individual's aims.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and daily life, offer alternatives for those who prefer written or verbal formats, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
