Laura Adams

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 prior experience supporting people in a range of settings. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Laura approaches clients with respect for their own knowledge of their lives.

She works using psychodynamic therapy in live sessions by video or audio. That approach looks at the patterns in a person’s feelings and relationships and how past experiences can shape present behaviour. Sessions aim to notice recurring themes and gently make sense of difficult feelings such as guilt, shame or grief.

Laura also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support practical change. She helps people develop clearer communication, manage impulses and make decisions when facing major transitions like separation or midlife shifts. Work can include talking through difficult memories, building new coping strategies and practising small behavioural steps.

Her style is collaborative and steady. She treats people as experts on their own lives while offering questions and observations to open up new perspectives. Clients leave with clearer thinking and practical ways to handle stress and relationship strain.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients may be accepted. Prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire to start and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at the patterns that repeat in a person’s feelings and relationships. Online psychodynamic sessions via live video or audio help people notice how past experiences influence current responses and recurring problems. This can be useful for issues such as attachment worries, grief, shame or relationship strain.

Alongside that, evidence-based techniques are used to help with practical change. These might include learning clearer ways to communicate, practising small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety, or building routines to manage stress and low mood. The techniques aim to make day-to-day life easier while the deeper work explores underlying patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining psychodynamic reflection with practical exercises, and adjusting the work as goals change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Live video lets people use visual cues when they prefer them, while audio-only sessions can offer a simpler check-in when screen time is difficult. Confirm the available session formats when you book so arrangements suit your schedule and daily routine.
