Laura Fortune, BACP

Laura Fortune is a United Kingdom-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through addiction, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, loss, and parenting challenges. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional standing within the UK counselling community. Laura combines practical understanding of complex family dynamics with focused work on substance-related difficulties and trauma-related responses to help clients navigate change.

In her practice she emphasises an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely and honestly. Laura works collaboratively with each person to identify priorities, develop coping strategies, and strengthen relationships, including support around parenting and blended family concerns. Her approach also addresses related issues such as attachment difficulties, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Recognising that beginning therapy can take real courage, Laura affirms the decision to seek support and offers steady, compassionate guidance throughout the process. She provides therapy in English and practices from a perspective rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Laura Fortune draws on evidence-based approaches tailored to the issues she treats. Trauma-informed work focuses on understanding how past traumatic experiences affect present thoughts, emotions, and relationships, helping clients develop grounding skills and rebuilding a sense of safety. Addiction-focused strategies concentrate on relapse prevention, coping skills, and exploring underlying factors that contribute to substance or behavioural dependence to support lasting change. Family and parenting-oriented interventions address communication, boundaries, and practical problem-solving to improve family dynamics and support healthy attachment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laura collaborates with each person to determine what best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals work together with clients to adapt methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access help from different locations. These options allow ongoing contact, timely check-ins, and varied formats to suit individual comfort and scheduling needs.
