Laura Stonehouse

I currently have some online availability on Tuesday 8am to 3pm and Wednesday 8am to 3pm.

Hello, I’m Laura Stonehouse, MBACP. I hold a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the BACP.

My work is grounded in the belief that being genuinely heard and accepted can support meaningful change. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and at your own pace, without pressure to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or be anything other than yourself as you are.

People often come to counselling when something in their life has shifted and they find themselves asking questions such as, “Who am I now?” This may be connected to life transitions, relationship changes, or experiences of uncertainty, loss, or change.

I also work with people living with life-changing health conditions or disabilities, who may come to counselling at different stages — after a diagnosis, during periods of adjustment or progression, or years later when the emotional impact becomes harder to carry. This can include changes to identity, independence, work, relationships, or future expectations, as well as the ongoing effort of adapting to a body or life that no longer feels familiar. Additionally, I have trained as an MS Counsellor with MS-UK.

Alongside my professional training, I bring lived experience of living with Multiple Sclerosis and ADHD. This informs my sensitivity and awareness, while our work remains centred on you, your experiences, and what matters most to you.

Sessions are led by what feels most important to you in the moment. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or a clear idea of what you want to talk about. For some people, counselling is the first place they have spoken openly about their feelings, and this can feel unfamiliar at first. We work gently with whatever you bring, and many people find that, over time, it becomes easier to express themselves.

I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework and undertake regular supervision and ongoing professional development.

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and insurance. 

I offer online person-centred counselling for adults in a way that is flexible, accessible, and responsive to individual needs. Working online allows you to attend sessions from a place where you feel comfortable and familiar, without the need to travel.

My practice supports people from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages. People come to counselling for many reasons, including identity questions, emotional overwhelm, relationship endings, bereavement, changes in health, or shifts in direction or purpose. Transitions can take many forms, from reaching certain age milestones to adjusting to long-term conditions, disability, neurodivergence, or changing circumstances.

I aim to offer a steady, human presence rather than advice or solutions. I won’t analyse you, diagnose you, or tell you how you should be coping. Instead, I’ll support you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that feels respectful and manageable.

Some sessions may feel challenging at times. Any challenge is approached with care, curiosity, and non-judgemental respect, as an opportunity to notice and explore things more closely rather than to fix or change you.

I work in an accessibility-affirming and neurodiversity-affirming way and am mindful of fluctuating energy, concentration, and capacity.

Before beginning counselling, I offer a free introductory call. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions, get a sense of how I work, and decide whether counselling with me feels right for you. There is no obligation to continue.

In a first session, we’ll take time to settle in and talk about what has brought you to counselling. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. You may arrive with clear questions, or simply a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right.

There is no expectation to have a clear goal or to know where to begin. We’ll work with whatever feels present for you, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

We’ll also cover practical and ethical information, including confidentiality, boundaries, and how we might work together. I’ll invite questions at any point, and we can return to these conversations over time if needed.

Counselling is collaborative and ongoing. We’ll regularly check in about how the sessions feel for you and whether the pace and focus continue to meet your needs.
