Laura Steele

Laura Steele is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck or unsure what comes next. Typical concerns she helps people with include stress, anxiety, LGBT issues, relationship worries, low self-esteem and managing life changes.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what matters most next. Laura focuses on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than vague reassurance. She talks through small changes that can make daily life easier and reduce unhelpful patterns.

Her work also covers attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and aspects of sexual culture such as BDSM and kink. She supports people coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, and those dealing with divorce, separation or blended family strains. Communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame are other areas she addresses.

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the way she works to each person's goals. Sessions aim to identify what gets in the way and try new ways of responding. Progress is checked in simple, practical terms so conversations stay purposeful.

Sessions are carried out in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Approach and practical benefits of online work

Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and boost confidence. This method helps when stress or self-doubt is getting in the way of day-to-day choices.

Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns. It helps people notice how past relationships influence current reactions and then practise different responses in everyday interactions. This can be useful for communication problems, codependency and relationship strain.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches suit the client's goals and preferences, checking progress and adjusting the plan over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions to continue across moves or when living in another country, since international clients are accepted.
