About Laura
Counsellor and BACP member with four years' experience, Laura Spagnuolo works online with individuals in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and problems with eating, sleeping and self-esteem. She also helps with family concerns, anger, coping with life changes and related difficulties.
Laura uses humanistic ideas alongside attachment-focused and existential ways of working. Sessions are conversational and exploratory. She listens for the patterns that shape a person’s choices and relationships. The aim is to help clients understand those patterns and decide how they want to act differently.
Early life and attachment themes are often part of the work. Laura will look at how past relationships influence present ones. That can help explain repeated difficulties and give clearer options in day-to-day life.
Practical problems such as eating or sleeping issues, caregiver stress and communication breakdowns are discussed alongside deeper questions of meaning and belonging. The therapist pays attention to emotions, behaviours and the stories people tell about themselves.
Sessions are intended to build a working relationship where clients can reflect and make choices. Laura speaks English and Italian. She accepts international clients and works online from the UK.
How her approaches inform online counselling
Laura uses attachment‑based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present behaviour and emotions. This approach helps when patterns in close relationships cause repeated pain or difficulty. She also works in a client‑centred way, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and pace. That approach supports conversations about feelings, values and decisions without pushing a single agenda. Existential ideas come into play when people want to talk about meaning, choice and responsibility. These discussions can help with life transitions and feelings of emptiness or doubt. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process that adapts if something is not helping. Check the session options before booking to confirm exactly which online formats are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement during a break from daily tasks.Areas of expertise
