Recent reviews
Laura is incredibly sensitive and respectful every time we meet. I am so appreciative of the sympathy and understanding she provides; she helps me consider aspects of my behaviour and feelings that I've never explored before. She also guides our sessions in a way that does not inhibit what is shared while steering them to new areas to explore.

I am a dedicated, compassionate and empathetic Counsellor with over 4 years of professional work experience and I am MBACP Registered.
Counselling sessions provide an opportunity for the client to work through their own particular difficulties with the support of a counsellor in a way which is beneficial to them. I aim to provide a compassionate atmosphere of unconditional acceptance in order to help the client explore any difficulty they might be facing, find completeness and move forward.
I use the Person-Centred approach to counselling. If appropriate, the counselling sessions are tailored to the unique client’s needs introducing interventions from Existential Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused approaches. Furthermore, I like to use my multicultural competence and passion for promoting well-being in diverse client populations. With a high level of empathy and personal insight I have special experience in helping clients suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse or those simply needing to make sense of their lives, to build resilience or develop greater self-esteem and emotional health.
I provide counselling sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and/or Italian.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Laura has been very helpful from the start, and communication from set up throughout the sessions was really strong. Laura is kind but professional and I felt listened to and supported through my therapy journey. I strongly recommend Laura.
Laura has helped me immensely since our first session. Kind, friendly, helpful and lots of suggestions and understanding. Thanks Laura
