Laura Spagnuolo , BACP

Laura Spagnuolo is an integrative counsellor who works with individual clients online and is a registered member of the BACP, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can explore feelings of being stuck, powerless, depressed, or anxious and begin to understand what may be getting in the way of living more fully.

Recognising that each person brings distinct cultural values and life experiences, she tailors her approach to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Her practice is grounded in the humanistic tradition while also drawing on psychodynamic ideas to attend to the deeper, often unconscious influences on behaviour and relationships.

Throughout therapy she emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the central tool for change, listening with empathy and positive regard to support clients in making sense of their lives. She helps clients identify recurring patterns that affect work, friendships, and intimate relationships so they can choose which habits to keep and which to let go.

By fostering greater self-awareness and helping clients connect past experiences to present difficulties, she supports people in reclaiming a sense of agency, making decisions aligned with their values, and finding more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Practical Support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting with others and the self - it helps people understand patterns around closeness, trust, and abandonment and can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is a humanistic approach that prioritises empathic listening and unconditional positive regard - it helps clients explore their values, build self-understanding, and make choices aligned with their goals. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, responsibility, and freedom in the face of life transitions - it can support those coping with emptiness, major change, or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review what feels most helpful and adjust the way they work as understanding deepens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it possible to access support from different locations and around other responsibilities. For many people, these options make consistent engagement with licensed professionals and therapists easier to manage alongside work, family, and daily life.
