Laura Saggers, NCPS

Laura Saggers greets people with a calm, straightforward presence. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about relationship worries, intimacy concerns, stress or low mood. Laura uses clear, practical language and aims to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and choices.

She trained to a Diploma level in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a BA (Hons) plus a PGCE, with registration with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). The NCPS registration is listed as part of her working practice. Laura takes part in regular supervision and continuing professional development.

Her approach draws on several ways of working rather than a single method. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the named approaches she uses, alongside person-centred, psychodynamic ideas and transactional analysis. She adapts these to the issue you bring and to what works for you.

Clients commonly bring relationship and intimacy difficulties, family and parenting stress, anxiety, depression and problems with communication or commitment. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, body image, coping after trauma, anger and compassion fatigue.

Laura currently practices from the United Kingdom and offers sessions by telephone and video. International clients are accepted. Before booking it is sensible to confirm current session options and any practical details through the Start Therapy process on the site.

How Laura uses CBT and integrative work online

Laura uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as one clear strand of her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing alternatives, which can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and stress. She also draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand personal history and how past relationships affect current ones.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. That means working together to pick exercises, reflections or conversation styles that help you make practical changes.

Her profile lists telephone and video counselling as session options, so check the current offerings before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working by phone or video helps them keep continuity of care across locations and life changes.
