Laura Ward, BACP

Laura Ward is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience and accreditation through BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She approaches care with warmth and empathy, helping people navigate life’s difficult moments and the kinds of stuck feelings that follow challenging events.

Laura supports work on motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and has particular experience with emotional abuse, low self-worth, depression and anxiety. She helps clients explore how past experiences, generational patterns and significant losses shape current thoughts and feelings, and she guides people through grief and major life transitions at a comfortable pace.

With experience supporting children, families and adults on the autism and ADHD spectrum, Laura adapts her style to meet each person where they are. Her practice emphasizes a non-judgemental, nourishing space that encourages self-awareness, resilience and the development of self-compassion.

Laura believes each person is the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to identify strengths and practical steps toward lasting change. She welcomes international clients and offers flexible remote options for those ready to begin their journey toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Laura draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgement and supports growth by trusting the client’s own perspective and pace. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity and strengthening self-compassion.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT involves collaborative goal-setting and exercises that can be adapted to remote formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Laura is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, letting clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life.
