Laura Fortune, BACP

Laura Fortune is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK, and brings a calm, grounded approach to work with individuals and families.

Her practice focuses on helping people manage addictions, navigate family conflicts, process trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and address parenting challenges. She also works with issues such as attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and substance misuse. Her experience extends to concerns around guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation, and other relational strains.

Laura creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She emphasizes collaboration, helping people identify practical steps and coping strategies while respecting each person s pace and priorities. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and she acknowledges and supports that choice at the start of the therapeutic journey.

Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online support

Laura Fortune uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs presented. Trauma-informed work helps people make sense of painful experiences and reduce the ways those memories affect daily life by focusing on safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of distressing material. Family-focused interventions emphasize patterns of interaction, communication, and roles within relationships, supporting families and parents to improve connection and resolve conflict. Skills-based coping strategies teach practical tools for managing cravings, intense emotions, dissociation, and overwhelming thoughts, and are useful for those dealing with addiction, anxiety, or strong urges to withdraw.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura collaborates with each person to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access support without travel. Working remotely can help people maintain consistency, fit sessions into busy schedules, and engage with registered professionals from familiar surroundings.
