Laura Fortune , BACP

Laura Fortune is a United Kingdom based therapist with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential - a recognised counselling credential in the UK. She specialises in supporting people facing addictions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and parenting challenges, bringing focused care to complex personal and relational issues.

Her practice encompasses a wide range of concerns including attachment difficulties, blended family tensions, codependency, communication breakdowns, control issues, dissociation, drug and alcohol addiction, feelings of emptiness, family problems, first responder stress, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and jealousy. Laura works collaboratively with clients to explore these patterns and build practical coping strategies tailored to each person and family.

In sessions she prioritises an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed and understood. She recognises that beginning therapy often requires courage and supports clients through those first steps while helping them develop clearer direction and tools for managing life challenges.

Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Laura Fortune draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues she treats. Trauma-informed work focuses on understanding how past traumatic experiences affect current thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and helps clients build safety, regulation and coping skills. Family-focused interventions address relationship patterns, communication difficulties and parenting challenges to improve family functioning and support healthier connections. Addiction-focused approaches concentrate on understanding triggers, developing relapse prevention strategies and strengthening motivation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laura Fortune collaborates with each client to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds so therapy remains practical and person centred.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, reduce travel time and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
