Laura Edwards , BACP

Laura Edwards is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem challenges, eating disorders, depression, and relational difficulties. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows standards expected of counselling professionals in the UK and brings a thoughtful, respectful approach to her work.

Laura believes each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address difficult challenges. She emphasizes collaboration and supports clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling relationships. Seeking support for change requires courage, and Laura offers steady professional guidance to help people explore their experiences, build coping strategies, and pursue goals for recovery and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor online sessions to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and can be helpful for issues like abandonment, intimacy-related challenges, and relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respectful listening, and the client's own goals - it supports people working through self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions by creating a nonjudgmental space for exploration. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support around work, family, and daily life. For many people, this accessibility helps maintain consistent progress while fitting therapy into a busy schedule.
