Laura Steele, BACP

Laura Steele is a United Kingdom-credentialed therapist with five years of professional experience and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She works with people facing stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, and the practical and emotional demands of life changes. Her approach emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts both the tone of conversation and the treatment plan to meet each client’s unique circumstances. Seeking change can take real courage, and Laura focuses on supporting and empowering clients as they take those first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Clients can expect a tailored, person-centred process in which goals are clarified and appropriate, evidence-informed techniques are selected to suit individual needs. Laura aims to help people build coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen self-worth while working collaboratively to find the most effective path forward.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapeutic support

Laura Steele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts and behaviours influence mood and daily functioning. These approaches help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve motivation.

She also uses skills-based work aimed at building coping, problem-solving, and emotional regulation abilities. This kind of practical skill development can be useful for managing life transitions, strengthening self-esteem, and handling relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative effort. Laura will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and needs, and together they will choose techniques that fit the situation and feel manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or location constraints and allow registered professionals to provide consistent support even when in-person meetings are not possible.
