About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. Laura aims to offer a calm, accepting space where people can talk things through at their own pace and begin to make sense of difficult feelings.
She combines that person-centred base with elements from attachment theory and cognitive behavioural ideas when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions often involve exploring relationships, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and practising small changes to reduce stress and anxiety. The focus is practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Laura has around five years of practice supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity-related concerns, and low self-esteem. She also works with issues such as grief, stress, addictions, and major life changes. Her background includes additional training in trauma studies and Gestalt-influenced techniques that inform how she structures work with more complex experiences.
She brings a multicultural perspective to her work and offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. Laura notes adoption and foster care as an additional focus area among her interests. People interested in starting can use the platform to match and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
Her practice emphasises steady progress through clear goals, practical strategies, and a listening approach that aims to build understanding and resilience over time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Laura uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening, acceptance and working at a client’s pace. This helps people feel understood and gives space to look at current feelings and choices rather than imposing solutions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds can affect current reactions. That approach can be useful for worries about intimacy, trust and relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical changes; these techniques often help with anxiety, mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also offer quieter surroundings or remove the need to be on camera for people who prefer phone or audio work. Registered or accredited professionals offer these options and can discuss practical arrangements that suit day-to-day schedules.
