About Laura
Laura Ferguson helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and family problems. She also supports those coping with self-esteem challenges, relationship strain, career worries and difficult life changes. Laura works with concerns such as trauma, intimacy issues, anger, compassion fatigue and aspects of LGBT wellbeing.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused style. Laura believes people know their story best and brings a respectful, curious presence to sessions. She aims to help clients spot strengths they may not yet notice and to build practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
Over eight years she has worked in private practice, with charities and within custodial settings. That mix means she is used to helping people in different situations and stages of life. She draws on what has helped others while tailoring ideas to each person she meets.
Her work combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and the motivational style of Motivational Interviewing. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat over time. Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments and moments of reflection.
Laura is an NCPS Therapist - Accredited Member (MNCPS Accred) based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are held in English. If you are considering therapy, she encourages a first step of noting a single change you want and bringing that to your initial meeting.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their priorities at the centre. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people notice their own strengths, which suits conversations about family and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adjust the way of working together. This is a collaborative process that aims to match techniques to a client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find therapy online easier to fit into a busy week, whether that means shorter journeys, the ability to schedule around work, or keeping therapy within a regular routine. Online meetings can make it simpler to follow through on tasks between sessions and to bring real-life examples into the conversation.
