Laura Fortune , BACP

Laura Fortune is a United Kingdom based therapist with four years of professional experience, offering focused support for individuals and families facing addiction, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She holds BACP, a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates adherence to professional standards for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients navigate complex issues such as substance and alcohol problems, family conflict, and experiences of abuse and loss.

Her practice includes work with parents and blended families, addressing attachment concerns, communication difficulties, codependency, and the emotional effects of infidelity, guilt, and shame. Laura aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly, and where practical coping strategies are explored alongside emotional processing. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and validates the step clients take toward change. Laura collaborates with people to tailor support to their situation, helping them build resilience and clearer pathways forward.

Evidence-Based Support for Addiction, Family, and Trauma Online

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting issue. For addictions this involves structured work to identify patterns, understand triggers, and develop practical coping strategies that reduce harm and support recovery. For family and parenting concerns the approach focuses on improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening attachment within blended or traditional family systems. For trauma and grief the work is trauma-informed and aims to help clients process painful events at a pace that feels manageable while addressing associated symptoms such as dissociation or overwhelming shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura collaborates with clients to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made and new priorities emerge. This shared decision-making helps ensure therapy stays relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, making it easier to attend sessions, maintain continuity of care, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
