About Laura
Laura Spagnuolo is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience working with individuals online. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, depression, family concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Laura also lists codependency and related interpersonal patterns among her focus areas. She offers sessions in English and Italian and accepts international clients.
Laura works from a humanistic perspective while drawing on attachment ideas and existential thinking. Sessions are conversational and reflective. She listens for recurring patterns in relationships and daily life and helps people notice how earlier experiences influence their present choices.
The approach aims to make those patterns visible so clients can decide which behaviours to keep and which to change. Laura pays attention to how people relate to themselves and others, and she uses discussion to build awareness and choice rather than prescribing solutions. Therapy is a collaborative process focused on practical shifts in how someone copes and connects.
In practice she explores early life influences, emotional responses and repetitive relational dynamics. This can include looking at feelings of abandonment, control or dependency, and how these show up in parenting, work or close relationships. Sessions may include gentle reflection on meaning, personal values and what a different way of relating might look like.
Language and culture matter in her work, so she adapts conversation to each person's background. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
Approaches online and what they involve
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when someone notices repeating issues in close relationships, such as dependency, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting others.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person speaking and respects their pace. It supports people who need a non-directive space to sort out feelings, build self-understanding and make clearer choices.
Existential Therapy addresses questions of meaning, freedom and responsibility. It can help people who feel stuck, empty or uncertain about life direction and want to explore values and personal choice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Laura will talk with each client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as new needs emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when that's useful. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can be helpful on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session length and pace to match practical needs and personal goals.
