Laura Edwards , BACP

Laura Edwards is a UK-based therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, eating disorders, depression, and relationship challenges. She approaches each person with respect for their lived experience, believing that clients are the experts in their own stories and already carry strengths that can be used to overcome current struggles.

Working from a compassionate and collaborative stance, Laura helps clients explore patterns, make sense of painful emotions, and build practical strategies for change. She holds BACP, which denotes membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Laura recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage. She aims to create a supportive space where people can take that first important step, clarify goals, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life with guidance tailored to their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Laura Edwards integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients understand patterns and build new ways of coping. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional responses and relational patterns, which can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, trust issues, or attachment-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work, supporting self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laura works collaboratively with clients to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques from different models to suit each person’s situation. This collaborative process helps identify the best fit as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel, and allow clients to connect with licensed professionals from different locations, including international clients, while maintaining continuity of care.
