Laura Mitchell, BACP

Laura Mitchell is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addictions and life changes. Her approach is calm and non-judgemental, and she encourages people to take the first small step towards getting support.

Laura creates a regular space where clients can talk through thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, so people leave with clearer next steps rather than more questions. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, not by jargon.

Her work has included supporting people with ADHD, eating concerns, parenting challenges and career stress. She also helps people process trauma, attachment difficulties, separation, grief and issues that come up alongside long-term illness or caregiving responsibilities. Laura keeps the focus on the immediate problems and realistic coping strategies.

In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working, putting the person’s own experience at the heart of the process. She also uses principles from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are being examined. Together with each client she decides which ideas and exercises suit their situation.

Therapy with Laura is presented as a collaborative process. She offers a steady, consistent meeting space for people to practise different ways of thinking and acting. If you want to explore changes in thoughts, habits or relationships, she will help you map a plan and try practical steps between sessions.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of sessions. It involves listening carefully, reflecting what someone says and helping them make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone wants a steady space to think through stress, grief or everyday habits.

The Gottman Method focuses on relationship patterns and communication. It looks at how partners interact and teaches practical skills for improving conversations and managing conflict. This can be useful for people wanting clearer ways to handle relationship stress and recurring arguments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try different ways of working to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape the plan for sessions and the kinds of exercises used.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
