About Laura
Laura Saggers is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has four years of professional experience. She holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) and a PGCE. Laura works with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, and related issues such as communication and attachment difficulties.
Laura offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to help people notice patterns, test new ways of responding, and reduce overwhelming thoughts. Sessions can look at how everyday behaviours and beliefs keep problems going and what can be changed in small, manageable ways.
Her practice attends to matters often felt at home - parenting pressure, conflicts with close relatives, intimacy worries, and career or life transitions. She also works with concerns like abandonment, blended family issues, fatherhood difficulties, eating and body image concerns, and caregiver stress. Laura names communication problems, control issues and commitment worries among common topics she addresses.
She says therapy can be short term or longer depending on each person’s needs. In sessions she draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside CBT to offer different ways of understanding problems. That means conversations may move between practical exercises, exploring relationship patterns, and looking back at how past events influence present feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and Laura accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and any practical details through the service’s booking flow.
How sessions work
How Laura uses CBT and related approaches online
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. In practice this means setting small tasks between sessions, testing ideas about difficult situations, and tracking changes in mood or stress levels. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and practical relationship difficulties.She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas. Person-centred work focuses on honest conversation and what matters to the person now. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring relationship patterns and how earlier experiences affect current choices. These approaches offer different lenses and can be used alongside CBT in therapy.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try approaches collaboratively, adjusting methods to fit what the client finds helpful. That means sessions may emphasise practical exercises at times and reflective discussion at others.
