About Laura

Laura Adams is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps those coping with life changes and looking for clearer direction and purpose.

Before her registered practice she spent many years supporting people in different settings. That background informs practical tools she offers in sessions and a familiarity with everyday pressures. Laura views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Her stated model of work is psychodynamic therapy delivered in live video or audio sessions. In practice she uses conversation to uncover patterns in feelings and relationships. Sessions look at how past experiences shape present reactions, with the aim of understanding recurring difficulties.

Laura combines reflective discussion with practical steps you can try between sessions. She addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, communication problems and isolation. She also supports people with concerns about body image, chronic illness or caregiver strain.

Clients who bring questions about life purpose, midlife change or men’s issues will find someone who focuses on exploring what matters next. The approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. To start, visitors choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Psychodynamic approaches and how they work online

Laura uses psychodynamic therapy as her core approach, which focuses on uncovering patterns in feelings and relationships that repeat over time. That process involves talking through memories, current struggles and emotional reactions to see how earlier experiences shape present responses. It can be useful for issues like attachment worries, abandonment, shame and relationship problems.

Alongside reflection, sessions often include practical strategies to test new ways of relating or coping between meetings. These short experiments help translate insights from conversation into everyday changes and give material to review in later sessions. The therapist and client decide together which techniques to try based on goals and what feels manageable.

Because her described work is delivered via live video or audio, confirm the exact session formats when booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work and family life, and audio-only conversations can be a lower-bandwidth option when a shorter check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly work this way to help fit therapy into busy schedules and daily routines.
