Laura Adams

Laura Adams is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice. She draws on earlier roles supporting people in varied settings to inform her current work. She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Her aim is to help people find practical ways to cope with life changes and relationship struggles.

Laura frames the client as the expert in their own story. She points out strengths and helps people use those strengths to work through tough moments. Sessions are described as conversational and reflective, with time to identify patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her main way of working is psychodynamic therapy delivered through live video or audio sessions. In this approach she helps people notice feelings and relationship patterns that affect present life. She uses talk, questions and reflection rather than homework-heavy tasks.

People come for many reasons beyond common mood concerns, including attachment and abandonment worries, body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, control issues, and guilt or shame. Laura also supports those facing divorce, midlife questions, and struggles with purpose.

She works with men’s issues, impulsivity, isolation and the practical challenges of chronic pain or disability. Sessions happen in English and international clients are accepted, with bookings arranged through the platform’s matching process.

Psychodynamic work online and what it looks like

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past relationships and habitual ways of feeling affect your life now. In practice this means talking about repeated patterns, early attachments, and strong emotions to uncover sources of current stress and relationship strain. It can help with anxiety, low mood, difficulties with trust and feelings of abandonment.

She also offers reflective, person-focused conversations that centre on identifying personal strengths. These sessions are less about exercises and more about noticing what you do and feel, and how those responses shape day-to-day life. That approach can support people working through midlife questions, caregiver strain, or chronic illness challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and together you will agree which way of working fits best. Changes can be made over time as your priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to continue work while managing caring duties, health conditions or work commitments. Confirm the exact session options when booking, since formats are arranged through the platform and may vary.
