About Laura Bourne

Laura Bourne is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports young people and adults through some of life’s most difficult challenges. She trained initially in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and uses its practical, skills-based techniques to help clients identify patterns of thought, develop coping strategies, and make measurable changes in daily life. Recognising that no single approach suits everyone, she has expanded her training across other therapeutic models to offer a personalised and flexible way of working that responds to each person’s history and preferences.

Laura works with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and grief and loss, offering compassionate, non-judgmental support that aims to promote healing and practical progress. As a trauma-informed practitioner she pays attention to how past experiences can affect both body and mind, and she supports clients to move forward at a pace that feels manageable. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, professional counselling qualifications that reflect her training and commitment to standards in the field. Reaching out for help is a courageous step, and Laura combines clinical insight with genuine empathy to accompany people toward positive change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Laura brings together practical, evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and day-to-day stressors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and rebuilding trust. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a non-judgmental, empathetic relationship where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work, supporting self-esteem, coping with life changes, and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so the work feels relevant and effective. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits each person rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging when that better suits someone’s schedule or comfort level. These options make it easier to access regular support, balance therapy with work or family life, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person appointments are difficult, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective, compassionate care.
