Laura Williamson , BACP

Laura Williamson is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and has practised as a therapist for 10 years. She has worked in charities and organisations supporting people of different ages and with a wide range of presenting problems, gaining experience across many life stages and difficulties.

Her clinical work has included supporting people with anxiety and stress, depression, relationship and family issues, experiences of abuse, grief, and related concerns. Laura adopts a supportive and interactive therapy style, offering a calm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore what is happening for them, express emotions, and consider possible next steps.

Her approach combines humanistic and psychodynamic theory to help clients make sense of their feelings, recognise patterns, and build on personal strengths. At the outset of therapy she discusses goals and collaborates with each person to agree how sessions will proceed and what to focus on. Laura aims to empower people to take steps toward a more fulfilling life and to support them through the changes they choose to make.

She welcomes individuals who are ready to begin this work and offers steady professional support as they move forward on their personal journey.

Bringing Humanistic and Psychodynamic Care to Online Therapy

Laura Williamson uses humanistic approaches that focus on individual strengths, present experience, and personal growth. This style encourages people to explore their feelings in a supportive atmosphere and can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and stress.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help clients understand how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current emotions and relationships. This perspective can be useful for making sense of recurring difficulties, unresolved grief, and long-standing relationship or emotional patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, explore what methods feel most helpful, and adjust the approach based on the client's needs, preferences, and progress. This shared decision making helps ensure therapy is a good fit.

Online therapy with Laura is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or work, support consistent scheduling, and allow clients to choose the communication style that works best for them.
