About
Laura Howard is a fully qualified and insured integrative therapist and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has five years' experience and integrates training from both psychodynamic and humanistic approaches to inform her practice.
In her private practice she has worked with clients from the LGBTQ+ community across a range of ages. She has also completed a certificate in adoption counselling and is able to support birth parents, adoptive parents, adoptees and other family members affected by adoption or special guardianship orders.
Her areas of interest include attachment patterns and styles, shame, loss and questions of personal or cultural identity. Laura aims to be warm and empathic, offering a safe space in which people can explore these concerns and begin to understand their own needs.
The first session is used to consider how therapy might proceed, to ask questions about her approach and to explore the main issues the client wishes to address. From that starting point she and the client can decide together how ongoing work could help.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people ask whether talking to a therapist online can really make a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most practical and comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would prefer a different therapeutic fit they can switch to another therapist at any time. Online therapy can be a convenient and effective option for many of the everyday issues people seek help for, while offering different ways to maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.How much experience does Laura Howard have?
