About Laura-Anne

Laura-Anne Mervyn is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and life changes that leave people unsure where to turn.

She uses a client-centred approach, which means she focuses on each person’s priorities and pace. Sessions are built around listening carefully and helping people name what matters to them. Laura-Anne aims to make the conversation straightforward so people can take small, clear steps forward.

Her background includes work with clients who have chronic health conditions, family conflict and school-related counselling. That experience has shaped a practical style that pays attention to everyday pressures as well as deeper emotional patterns. She encourages people to notice their own strengths and resources while they work through problems.

People often come with complex situations, such as parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue or challenges connected to identity and relationships. She treats these as connected parts of life rather than separate problems. The focus is on what the person wants to change and how they want to live differently.

Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Laura-Anne supports international clients in English and uses an approach that aims to be respectful, steady and collaborative.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, warmth and following the person's pace. The therapist offers space to talk and helps people name what matters to them, which can help with stress, anxiety, relationship worries and grief.

That same simple approach can fit well into online work because the emphasis is on the conversation rather than a set technique. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to find the best way forward, checking in about goals and adjusting the way sessions run to suit the person's needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist and client will discuss practical arrangements together and choose what suits their schedules and aims.
