Background and approach
She also recently qualified as a clinical counselling supervisor and is studying Psychology with the Open University to keep developing her skills. She offers a relaxed, non-judgemental space where people are invited to talk at their own pace. Laurie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centred outlook that treats the client as the expert on their life.
Conversations aim to build understanding and practical ways to cope, not to rush to answers. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life. Laurie works within the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's diary. Laurie uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Laurie uses a person-centred approach alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to you, helping you find your own solutions to stress, low mood or relationship worries. Cognitive and behavioural approaches help identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and develop simpler ways to cope with anxiety or depression.These ways of working are explored collaboratively. Laurie will help you identify which approach, or combination of approaches, fits your goals and preferences. Together you decide the pace and focus, and she adjusts methods as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible access to therapy. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection easier to fit around work or family commitments.
Many people find online formats make it simpler to attend regularly and to try different session styles until they find what works best.
