Laura Fontanet , BACP

Laura Fontanet is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has five years of professional experience supporting people through a broad range of emotional and psychological challenges.

Her core practice is person-centred therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding to help individuals access their own capacity for growth and clarity. She aims to offer a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for them. Laura complements this foundation with specialist training in Trauma Studies and Gestalt therapy, and she integrates practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory when these tools suit a client’s needs.

Laura has particular experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity concerns, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. She brings a multicultural perspective to her practice and offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan, and Italian. Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed, seeking to understand their past, or wanting a clearer sense of themselves, Laura provides steady professional support tailored to each person’s goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Laura Fontanet draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape online work in ways that fit each person. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting environment in which the client’s own insights and strengths guide change; it is helpful for building self-understanding and addressing issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating and emotional connection developed in close relationships, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, grief, and attachment-related distress. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. As with many licensed professionals and therapists, she adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging give flexibility for people balancing busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, arrange appointments around work or family commitments, and access support from familiar surroundings.
