About Laura
Laura Saggers is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety and big life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space where someone can talk through worries about parenting, work, or emotional pain. She also supports people dealing with trauma, depression, anger, and difficulties around intimacy and self-esteem.
Laura trained in therapeutic counselling and holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a BA (Hons) degree, plus a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. She is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and maintains regular supervision and continuing professional development.
Her approach is integrative. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of her work, alongside person-centred and psychodynamic ideas and transactional analysis. She adapts methods to the person in front of her, matching techniques to what is most useful in the moment.
Clients commonly bring issues such as family problems, communication and commitment difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns, and recovery from abuse. She also lists support for coping with natural or human-caused disaster as one area she addresses.
Sessions can suit people looking for either short-term coping strategies or longer-term exploration. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with people internationally. Conversations are practical and focused on what will help each person move forward.
How CBT and integrative counselling work in online sessions
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as one of her main tools. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and managing specific behaviours.She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand how patterns of feeling and relating develop. These approaches support exploration of emotions, past experiences and relationship patterns. Together they allow a mix of short-term coping strategies and deeper reflection when needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the way of working to suit the individual's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape what happens in sessions.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited, while others opt for video when visual connection helps. The original biography mentions both telephone and video counselling, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work aims to make therapy easier to attend and to help apply coping strategies into everyday life.
