About Laura
Laura Saggers is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years' experience. She holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) and a PGCE. Laura notes she offers both short-term and long-term work by telephone and video counselling. She sees people with relationship and family concerns, as well as issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting strain and stress.
She often works with people coping with big life changes, including separation, blended family issues and the stresses of co-parenting arrangements. She also lists areas like attachment and abandonment, communication and commitment issues, and difficulties with intimacy. Practical day-to-day problems such as body image, eating-related issues and caregiver stress are included in her scope.
Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside person-centred, psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis approaches. She describes an integrative style and adapts how she works to what each person brings. Sessions can focus on changing unhelpful thinking patterns, improving communication, or building coping strategies for acute stress.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she takes international clients in English. She maintains professional registration with the NCPS and takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development. The format and length of work - short-term or longer - can be discussed when arranging the first meeting.
To begin, she asks people to use the online matching process to book a first session. That process includes a short questionnaire and then scheduling a session to discuss current concerns and goals.
How CBT and integrative approaches are used online
Laura works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as a clear part of her approach. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress related to relationship changes.She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas when helpful. Person-centred work concentrates on the person's experience and priorities, while psychodynamic perspectives look at patterns from earlier relationships that may affect present situations. Together these approaches offer practical tools and reflection on recurring patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt the methods used as you go. That means sessions can emphasise thought-based strategies, practical communication skills, or exploring relationship patterns depending on what you need.
The biography states sessions are offered by telephone and video counselling. Confirm the exact formats and scheduling options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can work around childcare, work breaks or family routines.
