About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. She offers sessions in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
Laura works from a person-centred stance that places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas to help people name painful feelings and notice patterns in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and existential ideas are also drawn on when helpful.
Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now and how past experiences influence current reactions. Conversations may look at how attachment needs show up in relationships, how emotions guide behaviour, and practical steps to manage stress and mood. Laura also works with issues linked to identity, grief, addiction and parenting strain.
Her multicultural perspective informs sessions, and she offers help in four languages for clients who prefer to speak Spanish, Catalan or Italian. She has additional focus on topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, dissociation and chronic illness where these are relevant to a person’s concerns.
Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and a first session to clarify goals and next steps. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; exact fees vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Laura integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred work in her practice. EFT focuses on identifying and expressing emotions that shape relationship patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and connection needs. Client-centred therapy emphasises the person’s own experience and pace in the room.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which combination of methods fits best, based on the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative discussion during the first sessions and can be revisited as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family commitments and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins if that suits a busy day, or sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a quieter interaction. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work can help plan a schedule that fits everyday life without requiring travel.
