About Laura
Drawing on training in psychodynamic and humanistic models, Laura blends elements from different approaches to tailor work to each person. She has experience supporting clients from the LGBTQ+ community across a range of ages and has recently completed a certificate in adoption counselling, enabling her to support birth parents, adoptive parents, adoptees, and other family members affected by adoption and special guardianship orders.
Laura has a particular interest in attachment patterns and styles, shame, loss, and questions of personal and cultural identity. She describes her manner as warm and empathic and offers a safe space to explore feelings and needs while people begin to understand themselves more clearly. The first session is used to consider how she and a client might work together, to answer questions about her style, and to identify the main issues the client wishes to address and how therapy might support that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. It helps people understand their attachment style, how it affects trust and intimacy, and find new ways of relating to others.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and reflects the client’s experience. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and emotional clarity as clients explore life concerns.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for examining recurring relationship issues, patterns of avoidance, and deeper emotional themes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Laura Howard works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will explore options together with the client and adjust the way she works as understanding develops.
Online therapy with Laura is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for sharing and reflection.
