About Laura

Laura McAuliffe is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She works mainly with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and big life changes.

She meets people who feel overwhelmed by feelings of abandonment, emptiness, guilt or shame. Laura also supports those dealing with parenting transitions and family problems. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and what the person wants to change.

Her approach is integrative, which means she draws on different evidence-based techniques to match each person’s needs. People can expect practical conversations about coping strategies alongside space to reflect on past relationships and attachment patterns that continue to affect day-to-day life.

Laura describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify small, manageable steps and checks in on what is and isn’t helpful as therapy progresses. The emphasis is on clear, straightforward work rather than jargon.

She practises according to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards and has worked in the field long enough to see a wide range of common struggles. To start, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to establish fit and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Laura describes her practice as integrative and uses evidence-based techniques to tackle present-day problems and relationship patterns. For example, she may use cognitive-style approaches to identify and shift unhelpful thinking that increases anxiety and low mood. She also draws on attachment-informed work that looks at past relationships and how they shape current feelings and expectations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Laura will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their situation, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to talk from a familiar setting and for therapists to use practical tools such as worksheets or screen-shared notes to support the work.
