About Laura
Laura Williamson is a counsellor with ten years' experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career stress and compassion fatigue.
She works in a warm, interactive way. Sessions are a place to talk openly without judgment and to think about next steps. Conversations focus on what matters to the person and on practical ways to cope between meetings.
Laura uses ideas from humanistic and psychodynamic theory to guide the work. That means she pays attention to how people feel in the moment and to life patterns that repeat over time. Sessions mix listening, reflection and gentle questioning to help people notice what they want to change.
She has experience in charities and other organisations where she worked with a wide range of people and presenting problems. That background informs a flexible approach that adapts to different needs and situations.
When someone decides to start, Laura will discuss goals and how to work together. She aims to support and empower people as they take steps towards a more fulfilling life.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Laura uses humanistic and psychodynamic ideas in her work. Humanistic approaches focus on listening and understanding what matters to the person, helping them talk through feelings and choices. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from earlier life and how those patterns turn up now, which can help with relationship or family concerns and repeated emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which ways of working fit best. This collaborative planning lets sessions change as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to schedule meetings around work, school runs or other commitments. Confirm the current session options with the therapist before booking, as formats are not specified here, and she will explain how to match session arrangements to everyday routines and goals.
