Laura Edwards , BACP

Laura Edwards is a UK-based therapist credentialed with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With five years of professional experience, she supports people who are managing stress and anxiety, working through trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, rebuilding motivation and self-esteem, addressing eating disorders, and navigating depression and relationship difficulties.

She approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own life and already possesses strengths that can be used to overcome current challenges. Taking the first step toward a happier, more fulfilling life often takes courage, and Laura offers steady, compassionate support throughout that journey. She helps clients identify practical strategies and emotional resources so they can move toward clearer goals, improve day-to-day functioning, and find healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Laura aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can explore concerns at their own pace, build resilience, and discover sustainable change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Laura Edwards draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor support to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can be helpful for issues like relationship strain, abandonment, and attachment difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathic space where the client directs the pace and goals of work while the therapist offers understanding and support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to continue work when travel or mobility is a factor, and to connect across time zones. This range of options helps licensed professionals and therapists provide consistent, accessible care while tailoring communication styles to what feels most comfortable for the client.
