Laura Spagnuolo

Laura Spagnuolo is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression and eating and food-related issues. She works online and aims to provide a calm space where people can talk about feeling stuck, powerless or overwhelmed. Laura is a BACP member, which is shown in her listed credential as BACP. She keeps sessions tailored to each person's background, values and culture. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to the client and on the patterns that have shaped how they relate to others and to themselves. That practical understanding is used to help people make different choices in daily life. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas that look at early relationships and how they influence current behaviour. She also follows a client-centred stance that foregrounds empathy and positive regard. Existential themes are used too, looking at meaning, choice and responsibility. In therapy people can expect a steady, curious listener who pays attention to both conscious concerns and less visible influences. The aim is to help clients notice repeated patterns, decide which habits still help them, and change what does not. Laura emphasises the working relationship as the core tool for making those changes. Sessions also address related issues such as self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger and coping with life changes. People who speak English or Italian can work with her, and she is open to international clients.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Laura uses attachment-based ideas and a client-centred stance to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns; it can help people who notice repeated difficulties in how they connect with others. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathy and respect, giving people space to be heard and to explore what matters to them without judgement. Existential ideas are also part of her approach, helping people consider meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around daily life. Online work can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular meetings during busy weeks.
