About Laura

Laura Saggers is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship and carer-related strains. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for someone to talk through stress, anxiety, parenting pressures and relationship concerns. Her approachable style aims to help clients feel heard and understood early on in therapy.

With a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) degree and a PGCE, Laura brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She is registered with the NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and takes part in ongoing supervision and professional development.

Laura draws on several well-known counselling methods and adapts them to each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people identify patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking and better emotional awareness.

People looking after someone else will find support for caregiver stress and compassion fatigue alongside topics such as attachment, communication and separation. The work can include looking at boundaries, coping strategies and ways to manage difficult feelings linked to parenting or caring roles.

She currently offers counselling by telephone and video. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options when booking and follow the provider’s process to begin sessions.

How CBT and blended approaches work online

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and problem-solving in everyday life.

She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to make sense of feelings and relationship patterns. Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding, while psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape present reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort. That choice can change as therapy progresses, so the plan is reviewed in conversation.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins around work or caring duties. Laura offers telephone and video sessions; please confirm the current session options before booking. These formats can support focused skill work, practical problem-solving and ongoing emotional support without needing to be in the same room.
