About Laura
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. Laura McAuliffe helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family problems, bereavement and major life changes. She also focuses on issues linked to abandonment, attachment, emptiness, guilt and shame.
Laura works in an integrative way, drawing on a range of evidence-based techniques to match what feels most helpful for each person. Sessions are plain and direct. She aims to build a steady working relationship so people can talk through what is most pressing and start to try new ways of coping.
In the room she uses a mix of practical conversation and careful listening. She will help identify patterns that keep problems going and test small changes that can reduce distress. People often use sessions to manage panic, to explore family conflict, or to work through grief and loss.
Her approach is collaborative. She encourages clear goals and regular review so progress can be noticed. If a different method seems better she will discuss alternatives and adapt the work.
Laura’s BACP membership is listed to show professional registration with that body. She works with adults and runs sessions in English. Anyone planning to book should check the session formats offered before starting.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote counselling
Laura works in an integrative way and uses evidence-based techniques that suit the problem at hand. One approach focuses on understanding attachment patterns and how past relationships shape current feelings. This helps when someone struggles with abandonment, emptiness or recurring relationship difficulties. Another approach looks at managing anxiety and panic through practical, short-term strategies such as breathing, grounding and gradual exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce immediate distress and build coping skills.Finding the right method is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and adjusts the approach as needs and goals become clearer. Decisions about how to work are made collaboratively, with regular review of what is helping.
If you want online counselling with her, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. When arranging live sessions, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life. It can also allow a quieter check-in that does not need long travel. Where phone or video are possible, the choice can be based on what helps someone focus most during a session rather than on technical details.
