About Laura-Anne
Laura-Anne Mervyn is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and codependency. She also supports those facing life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, eating or sleeping problems, and career or self-esteem concerns.
Her practice starts by listening to the person's story and recognising their strengths. She uses client-centred methods that focus on the person's perspective rather than imposing solutions. Sessions are practical. People talk through feelings, patterns and immediate problems to find clearer choices.
Laura-Anne has worked with clients who live with chronic illness and with those who needed school-based counselling earlier in their lives. That background informs how she approaches long-term stress, caregiver strain and the fallout from trauma. She also brings experience helping people navigate issues linked to sexuality and identity, including LGBT concerns.
In the room she aims to help clients notice recurring patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships. Conversations include exploring triggers, communication habits, and ways to set boundaries that feel possible. Practical steps and short-term coping strategies are offered alongside deeper reflection.
Sessions are conducted in English and the practice accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online options button.
How sessions work
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what the person says so they can make clearer choices. This approach suits issues like relationship patterns, codependency, grief and anxiety where understanding personal experience is central.When practical coping steps are needed, sessions can include short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection. That might mean working on communication habits, boundary-setting, or ways to manage intense emotions between meetings. Each step is agreed with the client, so the approach stays collaborative and responsive to what the person wants to prioritise.
Registered or accredited professionals often offer online appointments to help fit counselling into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit a session into a workday, reduce travel, or choose a quieter time for reflection. The therapist will discuss how sessions should be scheduled and what will suit the client's goals and routine.
