About Laura
Laura Howard is a counsellor who helps men and others who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. She uses straightforward listening and gentle questioning to help people feel heard and to spot patterns that cause repeated pain.
She brings five years of practice and a BACP registration, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In sessions she aims to create a calm space to talk about what matters right now and what keeps happening over time.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking alongside a client-centred way of working. This means she looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up today, while keeping the conversation rooted in what the person wants to change now.
Laura has experience supporting people from the LGBT community and has completed a certificate in adoption counselling. She is able to work with adoption-related issues such as attachment, shame, loss and identity, and with people facing challenges around intimacy, parenting and family roles.
Initial sessions are used to agree goals and how to work together. Laura describes herself as warm and empathic and uses the early appointments to answer questions and shape a plan that fits each person’s needs.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Laura uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working that translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people spot repeating patterns in relationships and intimacy. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, using listening, reflection and non-judgemental response to help people find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which ideas to try first. This is a collaborative process, so plans can change as trust grows and priorities become clearer.
Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit around life and work, and it can reduce travel time and stress. If you need shorter check-ins, or a session that does not require video for bandwidth reasons, those practical needs can be discussed when arranging sessions. The biography does not specify which formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking to ensure they suit your day-to-day routine.
