Laura Carroll, BACP

Laura Carroll is a UK-based therapist who brings three years of professional experience to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and relationship challenges. She is credentialed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her training within the UK context. Laura works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and already has resources that can help them navigate difficult moments.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and respect for individual experience, with a focus on helping clients identify and use their existing strengths to address life challenges. Laura recognises that starting therapy can require courage and she acknowledges and supports the commitment involved in taking that first step. She aims to create a supportive environment where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward their goals.

How Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person at the centre of the work, offering empathy, active listening, and support to help people explore their feelings and make choices that reflect their values. This approach is useful for issues such as low self-esteem, stress, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships by exploring past experiences and their influence on present behaviour. It can be helpful for understanding deeper emotional responses, relationship dynamics, and patterns that may underlie anxiety or difficulties with intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods are likely to suit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what is most helpful for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and access support from different locations. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver effective care through these formats while providing consistent, scheduled support that adapts to each client’s life.
