About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred work to help people understand and change painful emotional patterns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on five years of practice to guide conversations that feel clear and direct.
She aims to build a calm and accepting space where clients can speak openly about what is hardest to say. Sessions focus on noticing feelings, making sense of reactions, and finding small ways to try things differently.
Background and approach
The tone is straightforward and warm rather than clinical. In practice she mixes approaches to suit each person. That can mean using attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape current worries.
It can mean practical CBT tools to manage anxiety or steps to stabilise sleep and routine. Laura also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, eating and intimacy difficulties, and career or parenting stress. She brings attention to how identity and life events interact with day-to-day coping.
Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. She works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging and supports clients located in the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session.

Online support
Working with emotions online using EFT and attachment ideas
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and patterns that keep people stuck. It helps clients identify painful feelings, understand how those feelings shape behaviour, and practise new ways of responding to themselves and others. This approach is often used for anxiety, grief, trauma-related reactions and intimacy concerns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of connecting and reacting. It helps people recognise attachment styles, understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions, and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods. Sessions are collaborative and adapt over time as goals change.
Online therapy lets people access this work from wherever they are in the United Kingdom. Video calls suit deeper conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can be simpler and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options support flexibility for work, travel, or busy family life and make it easier to fit ongoing therapy into daily routines.
