About Laura Fontanet
Laura Fontanet is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings over five years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore overwhelming feelings, past experiences, and current life stresses at a pace that feels manageable.
Her core practice is person-centred therapy, which emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding to help clients access their own capacity for growth and clarity. Alongside this central approach, she has completed specialist training in Trauma Studies and Gestalt Therapy and draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and attachment theory when these tools suit a person’s needs. This blended approach allows her to tailor sessions to the unique goals and circumstances of each person.
Laura has particular experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity concerns, low self-esteem, and life transitions, and she addresses a broad spectrum of additional issues including relationship and family matters, grief, addictions, ADHD, and caregiver stress. She offers therapy in English, Spanish, Catalan, and Italian, bringing a multicultural perspective to her work and supporting clients who prefer to engage in one of those languages.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Laura integrates client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and attachment-based ideas to guide her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on providing empathy, acceptance, and understanding so a person can explore their thoughts and emotions and build self-directed change. CBT offers structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-based approaches pay attention to relational patterns and how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping with issues like intimacy, abandonment, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual. She frames therapy as a shared process of exploration and practical problem solving.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, continue work during transitions, and maintain ongoing support without travel, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to apply evidence-informed methods in a convenient format.
