About Laura
Clients can expect a personalised plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions include talking through current struggles, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying practical skills to manage stress and emotions. She uses different methods depending on the issue, and explains each step clearly so people know what to expect.
Laura has particular experience supporting people with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and family dynamics. She also works with anxiety, addictions, eating and body-image problems, grief, career-related stress and ADHD-related difficulties. She speaks English and Italian, and offers work with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Her approach draws on evidence-informed therapies alongside longer-term psychodynamic thinking when helpful. Therapy aims to increase coping skills, reduce distressing symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are shaped around a person’s goals and adjusted as progress is made.
If someone wants to begin, they can use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire and book a session according to the therapist’s availability. Practical questions about session format and cost can be checked before scheduling.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, often called DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It focuses on breathing, grounding and communication skills that people can use day to day and is helpful for intense mood swings, self-criticism and relationship stress.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a way of working with distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. It involves guided attention while discussing a memory and can help people who have experienced trauma or abuse to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest a plan. Decisions are made together, and the plan can change as work progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals can support the same therapeutic aims online as they do in person, while adapting tools and exercises for remote work.
