About Laura
Laura Fontanet is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP with five years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, identity and self-esteem issues, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian.
Laura uses a person-centred approach as her core method. That means she helps people talk through thoughts and feelings without judgement and supports them to find clarity at their own pace. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and attachment ideas when they fit the issue being discussed.
In practical terms she offers direct, work-focused conversations when needed. That can include noticing unhelpful thought patterns, trying different ways to respond, and practising simple skills between meetings. She uses mindfulness exercises and emotion-focused techniques to help with strong feelings.
Her background includes trauma studies and Gestalt work, which inform how she responds to difficult memories and bodily reactions. Laura aims to balance exploring past experiences with building skills for day-to-day coping.
Clients often come with problems linked to relationships, parenting stress, addiction concerns, chronic illness or grief. She also lists focus areas such as attachment issues, abandonment, dissociation and communication problems. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on practical steps as well as understanding.

How CBT and attachment approaches work online
Laura blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with a person-centred stance. CBT focuses on spotting thinking patterns that keep problems going and practising alternative responses. This can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties by breaking tasks into small exercises and homework.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape reactions now. Work from this approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and how they respond to stress or loss. A person-centred frame keeps sessions grounded in the client’s experience and priorities rather than a rigid agenda.
Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try practical tools, and adjust the approach as needed. Clients help decide which techniques feel most useful and sustainable.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. They can also support work on practical CBT tasks between meetings and help maintain continuity when life is busy.
