Laura Fontanet , BACP

Laura Fontanet is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who brings five years of direct experience supporting people through a broad range of emotional and psychological challenges. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Her core orientation is person-centred therapy, grounded in a belief that individuals can grow and find clarity when provided with empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding. In practice she aims to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace and develop greater self-understanding.

Laura has completed specialist training in Trauma Studies and Gestalt Therapy and integrates practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory when these approaches suit a client’s needs. This flexible integration allows her to tailor sessions to each person’s unique circumstances, whether the focus is anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity and self-esteem concerns, or life transitions.

She also brings a multicultural perspective to her work and offers therapy in English, Spanish, Catalan, and Italian. Laura accepts new clients in the United Kingdom and works collaboratively to support people seeking clearer direction, coping strategies, and emotional healing.

Person-Centred and Attachment-Informed Online Therapy

Laura integrates client-centred therapy and attachment-based perspectives to guide online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on offering empathy, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace and build self-awareness - it is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns of relating that originate in early relationships and helps people understand and shift how they connect with others and manage emotions, which can be useful for relationship difficulties and trauma-related issues. Laura also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and behavioural challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Laura works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she adapts methods over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and mobility needs, while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor support to individual circumstances.
