About Laura

Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a person-centred approach. She creates a warm, accepting space where people can talk through their thoughts and everyday habits. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a pace they find manageable.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of practice supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and identity concerns. Laura also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain and the everyday pressures that affect mood and focus.

Her work draws on attachment ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques when they fit the client's needs. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused and existential approaches to help people make sense of patterns and choices. These methods are mixed in practical ways to address thoughts, routines and coping skills.

Laura offers therapy in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian and brings a multicultural viewpoint to sessions. She aims to work collaboratively, helping each person set realistic goals and notice small changes that make daily life easier.

If you want to talk about feeling overwhelmed, handling big life changes, or adjusting unhelpful habits and thinking, she provides a steady, non-judgemental place to begin. To start, follow the site steps to match with her and arrange an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Laura combines person-centred care with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to help with thoughts and everyday habits. Person-centred work focuses on empathy, listening and supporting the client's own pace and goals. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and close connections. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking and routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and adapt techniques to fit each person's goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to feedback so sessions can be adjusted as they go.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to involve worksheets or real-time exercises during a session. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match approach and practical arrangements to everyday life and commitments.
