About Laura
Laura Steele is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship questions, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her practice also lists motivation and confidence as areas she supports.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what matters next. Sessions focus on practical steps, thinking through options and noticing patterns that get in the way. Laura aims to adapt the pace and topics to each person rather than follow a fixed script.
Her background includes experience with attachment issues and neurodiversity, including autism and Asperger syndrome. She also works with body image, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional effects of separation and divorce. Alongside these, she has supported people dealing with codependency, communication problems and feelings of guilt or shame.
Laura has worked with people who identify as LGBT and with those exploring gender dysphoria. She also lists experience with BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture and with situations involving domestic violence and dissociation. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are common themes in her sessions.
People meet her to talk through current problems, plan next steps and develop everyday strategies for coping. She asks about what matters to each person and shapes conversations around their goals. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Laura describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored through conversation. One common approach focuses on practical problem solving and behavioural changes. This method looks at immediate difficulties, breaks them into small steps and tests what helps in daily life, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with change.Another helpful approach centres on exploring attachment patterns and relationship styles. It looks at how past interactions influence current relationships and supports clearer communication and boundaries. This is often used for relationship issues, codependency or repeated relational conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and your daily demands. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time so they fit your needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. If you need specific session formats, please confirm the options available before booking as the profile does not list formats. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to bring real-life examples into discussion.
