Laura Fortune
Healing practical problems with calm support
About Laura
Laura Fortune helps people who are coping with addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and parenting challenges. She introduces herself simply and directly to make the first step feel less daunting. Her tone is warm and encouraging for someone who may be nervous about starting therapy.
She draws on four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and uses that background to guide practical conversations. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to spot patterns and try small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
The aim is to make things feel a bit easier day to day. Laura sets out to build a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling. She pays attention to how relationships inside a family affect each person.
Topics such as attachment, blended family issues, codependency and communication problems are commonly discussed. Her work also covers drug and alcohol addiction, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and issues like infidelity and jealousy. She supports people dealing with loss and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse.
First responder issues and isolation or loneliness are also within her experience. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Laura helps clients explore what matters to them and plan steps they can try between meetings.
She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable and to notice any small changes that help. Laura is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in English in the United Kingdom. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Approaches that guide online work
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and making practical changes. One common approach is goal-focused work that helps people break down large problems into small, manageable steps to try between sessions. This suits issues like addiction, communication problems and getting through grief.Another approach centres on exploring relationship patterns, for example attachment and blended family dynamics. This helps people notice how early or current relationships shape reactions and offers ways to try different responses in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist discusses your needs, preferences and goals and tailors work accordingly. This is a collaborative process so plans can change as you learn what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more often or fit short sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
