Laura McAuliffe, BACP

Laura McAuliffe is a qualified integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience working with adult clients. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and follows recognised professional and ethical standards.

She works with people facing a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety and panic attacks, low self-esteem, relationship and family problems, bereavement and becoming a parent. Her practice also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, feelings of emptiness, family conflict, and guilt and shame, offering tailored support for each presenting concern.

Laura places emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and treats everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She aims to help clients take the first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life by supporting them through change, exploring coping strategies and developing greater emotional understanding. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and preferences.

Integrative approaches for online therapy

Laura offers an integrative approach that brings together methods suited to each person's needs, combining practical techniques and relational work to address emotional difficulties and life transitions. This style supports people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and major life changes by adapting the focus to what helps most in each session.

She also draws on evidence-based techniques delivered in a flexible way to reduce symptoms and build coping skills, while attending to deeper patterns such as attachment or feelings of emptiness when needed. These methods aim to provide both immediate tools for managing distress and space for exploring underlying issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Laura works collaboratively with clients to identify the best fit based on their goals, needs and preferences. Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, offering greater flexibility in scheduling and access for those who cannot attend in person.
