Laura Edwards, BACP

Laura Edwards is a UK-credentialed therapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, self-esteem and body image challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, relationship and family issues, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions and caregiving stresses.

Laura takes a strengths-based, collaborative approach that recognises each person as the expert of their own story. She draws on several evidence-informed frameworks, tailoring techniques to the individual rather than following a single method. Her practice emphasises building coping skills, exploring attachment and relationship patterns, and supporting clients through loss, change, and recovery from trauma.

Laura accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients as well. Therapy is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward and encouraging as possible while offering steady support throughout the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Laura Edwards

Laura Edwards integrates several practical therapeutic approaches into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, helping people who struggle with trust, abandonment, or close relationships to develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, offering empathetic listening and nonjudgmental support so clients can clarify values, build self-worth, and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions over time as priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to access registered professionals from home, work, or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances shift.
