About Laura

Dr. Laura Stoops is a UK trained integrative counsellor who blends different therapeutic methods to meet each person's needs.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS credentials, reflecting her professional registration and commitment to recognised standards of practice. Laura aims to create a non-judgemental, supportive space where clients can explore difficult topics and feel heard from their own perspective.

Laura has supported people with anxiety and depression, difficulties in relating to others, grief and loss, health and ageing worries, carer responsibilities, future planning, and developing greater self-awareness. Her style emphasises listening, understanding the client viewpoint, and working collaboratively to identify steps that may improve day-to-day wellbeing.

Those who work with Dr. Stoops can expect a thoughtful, personalised approach that seeks to understand the issues presented and to find practical ways forward in partnership with the therapist. She welcomes the opportunity to discuss whether her way of working is a good fit for a prospective client.

Approaches Used Remotely and How They Help

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person from their own perspective and creating a supportive therapeutic relationship that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. This approach is useful for people seeking greater self-awareness and a non-directive space to work through emotional concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and supports practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress. It is goal-oriented and often includes active techniques to practice between sessions.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and patterns influence current feelings and relationships, offering insight into repeating difficulties and emotional responses. It can be helpful for those wanting to understand deeper roots of relational or emotional challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Stoops works collaboratively with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and concerns, and will adjust methods to find the best fit for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
