Laura Nelson, BACP

Laura Nelson is a counsellor and Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works from the United Kingdom and brings five years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and self‑esteem difficulties. Laura also helps people facing ADHD, addiction issues, and intimacy‑related or eating and sleeping concerns.

She has particular experience supporting people affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity, and she also works with concerns related to LGBT issues and bipolar disorder. In sessions she adapts practical tools to what someone needs right now rather than following a single method.

Laura draws on an integrative approach, blending techniques from several therapies to fit each person. This means sessions might include talking things through, noticing patterns, trying short experiments between meetings, and practising simple mindfulness skills. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that can make daily life easier.

Her style is collaborative and down to earth. She aims to help people feel heard and understood while working on clear, realistic goals. Choosing to try therapy is often a big step, and she supports people through that process with patience and practical focus.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control behaviour. It often includes exercises to clarify values and take small actions that match what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving. These tasks can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and many everyday worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to test different ways of working and settle on methods that match their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means therapy can change as needs shift over time.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check‑ins when a longer appointment is difficult. Some people prefer video for face‑to‑face conversation, while others choose audio or shorter sessions to manage time and attention. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and between‑session tasks so they suit remote meetings and everyday life.
