Laura Carroll , BACP

Laura Carroll is a UK-credentialed therapist with three years of professional experience and holds accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, addictive behaviours, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and mood-related challenges such as depression. Her practice also includes work with LGBT matters, family and parenting issues, intimacy and relationship-related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, career questions, and coping with life changes.

She works from a perspective that recognises each person as the expert of their own story, aiming to build on existing strengths to address what feels challenging. Drawing on client-centered and psychodynamic approaches, Laura combines empathetic listening with reflective exploration to tailor support to individual needs. She appreciates that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and acknowledges the importance of beginning the process. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful atmosphere focused on understanding patterns and developing practical ways to move forward.

How Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Work Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client's own capacity for growth. This approach helps people facing self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions by creating space to explore feelings and choices.

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on identifying patterns that stem from past experiences and how those patterns influence current relationships and behaviours. By gently exploring recurring themes, clients can gain insight into issues such as trauma, intimacy-related difficulties, and longstanding emotional responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Laura Carroll works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her approach over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different comfort levels and busy schedules. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, make therapy more accessible, and accommodate clients who prefer remote communication.
