Laurel Deegan is a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, grief, identity and low self-esteem.
Laurel practises in an integrative way, bringing together different therapeutic approaches according to each person’s needs, while maintaining a person-centred stance. She aims to recognise the whole person rather than reducing someone to a single issue.
A core part of her work is supporting increased self-awareness - awareness of past experiences, relationship patterns, personal identity and wishes for the future. Many people find it hard to recognise or express parts of themselves, and Laurel seeks to help clients feel more whole and move toward becoming their true selves.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to attend sessions consistently and to access support from wherever is most convenient.
Therapists offering online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, virtual therapy provides a practical and effective route to begin or continue their work on mental health and relationships.
