Laura Saggers, NCPS

Laura Saggers is a UK-based counsellor who combines professional training with a client-centered style to help people navigate relationship, family and life changes. She holds a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, a BA (Hons) degree and a PGCE, and is registered with the NCPS - the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Her NCPS registration means her qualifications are nationally recognised and that she works in line with the society's Code of Ethics. Laura also maintains professional indemnity insurance and engages in regular supervision and continuing professional development to keep her practice current.

Working from a private practice, Laura offers both short-term and long-term telephone and video counselling. She describes her approach as integrative - creating a warm, non-judgemental space and drawing on a range of therapeutic perspectives to tailor work to each person's needs. That blend can include Person-Centred listening, Psychodynamic reflection, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques and elements of Transactional Analysis, selected to suit the client and the presenting concerns.

Clients come to Laura for help with a wide range of issues including relationships, intimacy, parenting, career transitions, stress, anxiety, trauma and self-esteem. She places emphasis on adapting methods to the individual's situation so that therapy addresses practical worries as well as underlying relational patterns.
