Laura-Anne Mervyn

Laura-Anne Mervyn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She works with those coping with family conflict, relationship and intimacy challenges, and people dealing with long-term illness or change. She aims to make the first step easier and offers steady support through difficult moments.

She has nine years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Laura-Anne believes people know their own story best and looks to build on the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and practical ways to move forward.

Her work includes short-term concerns and longer, more complex issues such as addiction, bipolar and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also brings experience supporting those with ADHD, caregiver stress, codependency and body image struggles. Practical coping strategies and clearer day-to-day routines are commonly discussed.

People often come for help with career stress, low self-esteem and managing anger. She also supports those navigating bereavement, abandonment issues and attachment concerns. The aim is to help clients find a steadier sense of self and better ways of relating to others.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Laura-Anne listens without judgement and helps clients set realistic steps they can try between meetings. She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them over time.

Client-centred work online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor offers warm, non-judgemental listening and follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone wants to understand their feelings, build self-esteem, and make decisions that feel right for them.

In sessions the emphasis is on collaboration. The counsellor and client look together at goals and try ways to meet them. If an approach needs adjusting, they discuss different options and agree what to try next so the work fits the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow sessions around work or caregiving, and offer a way to meet when someone is living away from the therapist's area. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then agree a practical arrangement that suits schedules and day-to-day routines.
