About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from a person-centred stance. She is registered with the BACP, has five years of clinical experience, and offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. Laura aims to provide a warm, accepting space where people can talk things through at their own pace.
Her practice focuses on everyday difficulties as well as complex responses to distress. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also works with issues such as addiction, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain and workplace stress.
Laura blends approaches to match each person she sees. Her core is client-centred work, which emphasises empathy and acceptance. She draws on attachment ideas to look at relational patterns and uses cognitive-behavioural techniques when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Her background includes additional training in trauma studies and Gestalt therapy, and she uses mindfulness practices to help people manage overwhelming feelings. That mix is intended to make sessions practical and grounded, so people notice small changes between meetings.
People from different cultural backgrounds may find her multilingual offering useful for expressing complex feelings. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details to ensure they meet their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Laura uses client-centred principles that focus on empathy, acceptance and following the person’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and understood and is useful for issues like low self-esteem, identity questions and life transitions.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current behaviour. That work can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and recovery from relational trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Practical advantages of online sessions include easier fitting of meetings into busy schedules and the ability to connect across different places. Clients should confirm the current session options before booking so they know what formats are offered. Online work can support regular check-ins, skills practice between meetings and flexible appointment times to suit everyday life.
