Laura Mitchell, BACP

Laura Mitchell is a UK-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, struggles with addictions, relationship difficulties, and the challenges of grief and loss.

Her practice emphasizes a non-judgmental, client-centered approach where emotional safety and open expression are priorities. She creates a consistent therapeutic space in which thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear, and she supports clients through periods of overwhelm and life change. Laura recognises that beginning therapy often requires courage and she values each person who takes that step.

Therapy with Laura is presented as a collaborative process aimed at understanding concerns and developing practical ways forward. She hopes to work alongside clients to build coping strategies, improve communication in relationships, and navigate transitions with greater clarity and resilience.

Approaches That Inform Online Support

Laura draws on Client-Centered Therapy and the Gottman Method to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience - the therapist offers empathy, genuine presence, and non-directive support so clients can explore feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen coping with stress, anxiety, or life transitions.

The Gottman Method is a practical, relationship-focused approach that helps couples improve communication, manage conflict, and rebuild connection through structured conversations and skills practice. It is well suited to relationship concerns and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Laura treats that as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques as the work evolves.

Online therapy in her practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or other convenient locations and allow therapy to fit into busy routines while maintaining continuity of care provided by registered professionals.
