About Laura-Anne

Laura-Anne Mervyn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience and a BACP credential, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing a wide range of challenges, including stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and coping with life changes. Her practice has also included support for clients managing chronic conditions, school-related concerns, and a variety of relationship and personal issues.

Laura-Anne approaches each person as the expert of their own story and looks for the strengths that can help them move through difficult moments. She prioritizes creating a supportive space where clients can explore challenges such as addiction, parenting pressures, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career or relationship difficulties. Her experience extends to working with LGBT clients, issues around intimacy, and complex areas like attachment and abandonment.

Recognizing that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, Laura-Anne offers steady support throughout the process. She collaborates with clients to identify practical ways forward and to build on existing resources so they can cope more effectively and pursue the changes they want.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in respect for the client's perspective and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, helps the person explore their feelings and goals, and supports self-directed growth - a good fit for issues like anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions.

In addition, Laura-Anne offers elements of coaching-style support that focus on practical problem solving and goal-setting, helping clients identify small, achievable steps toward change. This approach can be useful for career decisions, coping strategies, and building routines around sleep, eating, or stress management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Laura-Anne works with each client to determine what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit support into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow therapy to continue through life changes, and make regular contact more achievable for many people.
