Laura Spagnuolo , BACP

Laura Spagnuolo is an integrative counsellor who works with individual clients online and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people facing common yet deeply personal challenges - feeling stuck, powerless, depressed, anxious, or unsure where to turn - and offers a reflective, non-judgmental space to explore those experiences and their meaning.

Recognising that each person brings their own culture, values, and life story, she tailors the therapeutic process to the unique needs of every client. Her practice is rooted in the humanistic tradition while also drawing on psychodynamic ideas about unconscious patterns and early experiences. This combination helps clients gain insight into how past relationships shape current behaviour and emotional responses.

Throughout therapy, Laura prioritises a collaborative alliance built on empathy and positive regard. She listens closely to each person’s story, supports increased self-awareness, and helps identify recurring patterns so clients can separate what still serves them from what holds them back. Over time this process aims to expand choice, reduce feelings of being stuck, and support more fulfilling relationships and daily life functioning.

Her approach emphasises paced exploration, reparative work where needed, and helping clients discover practical ways to exercise agency and move toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Laura Spagnuolo

Laura draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach helps people understand patterns in intimacy, trust, and attachment so they can develop more secure ways of connecting and responding to others. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, creating an accepting, empathic environment that helps clients clarify their values and make choices aligned with what matters to them. That approach is especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and finding personal meaning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Laura works with each client to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as the relationship develops so the work remains relevant and effective. The therapist-client alliance guides how interventions are chosen and applied.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to access therapists from different locations. These options support continuity of care and enable clients to engage in therapy in the format that feels most comfortable and convenient for them.
