Laura Kun, BACP

Laura Kun helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, anger and major life changes. Her name appears here because she believes starting therapy takes real courage and practical steps. Laura works from the view that each person knows their story best. She treats people as partners in therapy and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that can make daily life feel easier. With 11 years of professional experience, Laura draws on several practical approaches. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also brings elements of Existential Therapy to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, short-term goals and track progress between sessions. These methods are chosen to fit the issue and the person, not as rigid prescriptions. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge and practical suggestions to try between meetings. Laura aims to create a space where people can talk honestly about guilt, shame, family problems, addiction and career worries. The focus is on real-world tools that help with coping, communication and rebuilding confidence.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them find their own solutions, which can be especially useful when someone feels stuck or unheard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on immediate goals and small steps, making it useful when someone wants quick, actionable change.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan if something is not working.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow visual cues and fuller conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
