Laura Adams, BACP

Laura Adams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional practice in the UK and prior experience supporting people in different settings. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and on adjusting to life changes.

Her work often addresses relationship difficulties, communication problems and feelings of isolation. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability, caregiver stress, and challenges around body image and identity. She listens for the patterns behind repeated struggles, such as attachment or abandonment themes.

Therapy sessions are offered as live video or audio appointments. In sessions she treats the client as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are paced to each person, with a mix of reflection and practical ideas to help manage day-to-day challenges.

Clients who come with difficult emotions, impulsivity, guilt or problems after separation will find a space to talk these through. She also works with people considering life purpose, midlife questions, or specific men’s issues. The emphasis is on understanding what gets in the way and finding manageable next steps.

People choosing to work with her can expect a thoughtful and steady approach. She aims to help clients feel clearer about their choices and better able to cope with life’s stresses.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns in relationships and past experiences that influence current feelings and choices. It helps when someone wants to understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions or repeated problems.

In practice this means talking through memories, relationships and present-day struggles to spot recurring themes. The therapist helps make links between past and present and supports clients to try different responses in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the way sessions are run so therapy fits the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Sessions are offered as live video or audio appointments according to the provided biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make regular contact easier to fit around work and family life, reduce travel time, and let people choose a quieter time that suits them. Audio sessions can be useful when video is not practical or when a shorter check-in is needed.
