Laura Arstall is a person centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She trained in the UK and completed a level 7 BACP accredited course, and is a registered member of the BACP (#00948037).
Her practice centres on the client - sessions are guided by the topics the client brings and she will not push anyone to discuss things they are not ready to explore. If a client prefers a more directive, solution-focused style, Laura can provide Solution Focus Therapy on request.
Laura works with individuals, couples and families, offering therapy both remotely and in person. She often supports parents to help them better meet their children’s needs. Her clinical work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with suicidal thoughts, self-harm, assault, domestic violence, sexuality and gender questioning, communication and motivation, and with neurodiversities such as ADHD and autism.
She aims to provide a non-judgemental and safe space where clients can work at their own pace. If any conflict arises in the therapeutic relationship, Laura is open to discussing it and will support a client’s decision to try a different therapist if that would be better for them. She brings a warm, friendly manner to sessions and encourages clients to build their own resources and strengths. She looks forward to working with clients who are ready to begin.
Many people want to know whether online therapy can really help. For common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and navigating life changes, research and practice indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person work.
One major advantage is flexibility - clients can choose the format that works best for them, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work when attending in person is difficult.
Therapists delivering online care are licensed professionals, and clients can change therapists if they feel another fit would be better. For many people facing everyday mental health and relationship concerns, online therapy offers an accessible, effective option to begin making progress.
