Laura Nelson , BACP

Laura Nelson is a United Kingdom based therapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With five years of professional experience, she supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and body image concerns, as well as difficulties with intimacy, eating, sleeping and coping with life changes.

She brings particular focus to supporting people and carers affected by chronic health conditions and neurodiversity, informed by both professional practice and personal experience. Laura aims to reduce the impact of the issues that challenge her clients and to empower them to grow emotionally and relationally through practical strategies and compassionate support.

Working in an integrative way, Laura draws on techniques from a range of therapies to match interventions to each person’s situation and goals. She combines a collaborative stance with evidence-informed methods, tailoring sessions to what is most helpful for the individual. Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, and Laura offers steady guidance and practical tools to assist clients as they work toward a more fulfilling life.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Laura draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - a practical way to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering structured tools for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-Centered Therapy provides a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, promoting self-understanding and emotional growth through empathic listening.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Laura works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Online therapy with Laura is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and consistent access to support from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while maintaining an ongoing partnership with a licensed professional who tailors care to each client's circumstances.
