About Laura
Laura Adams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and several more years supporting people in other settings. Laura focuses on common pressures people bring to therapy, such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people who are coping with major life changes or relationship problems.
She works from a psychodynamic model and uses live video or audio sessions as her way of meeting people. In sessions she encourages clients to tell their story and to notice recurring patterns that affect mood and relationships. The aim is to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviour.
Laura tends to take a reflective, conversational style. She helps clients name emotions, gently challenge unhelpful patterns and try out different ways of responding. Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable changes as well as understanding deeper issues.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues. She also supports people facing divorce or separation, guilt or shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Prospective clients should check the session options available before booking and follow the site process to arrange an initial match and scheduling.
How psychodynamic work and online sessions come together
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and feelings that arise from earlier life events. It helps people notice links between past experiences and current reactions, which can reduce distress and make new choices clearer. This approach is useful for worries tied to attachment, abandonment, relationship dynamics and long-standing mood issues.Another helpful element is a reflective conversational method that invites people to talk through their story and test different ways of responding. That method suits those wanting both deeper understanding and practical shifts in everyday behaviour. Together these approaches aim to balance insight with small, achievable changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what to try first, adjusting techniques as goals and preferences become clearer. Clients are invited to feed back about what helps so the plan can change over time.
Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking, since the biography states sessions are offered via live video or audio. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people meet from different locations, which can help maintain continuity during life changes.
