You can find further information about my experience and training on my website www.lauraspreitzer.com or my Counselling Directory profile https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/counsellors/laura-spreitzer.
I specialise in working with adults (18+) who are facing the following challenges:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Burnout
- Attachment & Relationship problems
- Trauma (past or present)
- Grief & Loss
- Work/University/Career-related challenges
- Cultural identity issue & belonging
Even if you don't experience any of the challenges mentioned above, therapy can still be a valuable tool for self-discovery and personal growth. Whether you're curious about your past, want to understand your current relationships better, or simply seek to deepen your self-awareness, therapy offers a supportive and guided space to explore your inner world and embark on a journey of becoming the person you want to be.
Training & Qualification:
I graduated from the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy with a Diploma in Transactional Analysis (postgraduate level 7) in July 2023 and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
I am trained in Transactional Analysis and use various techniques and modalities to provide individuals with the treatment that suits their needs and supports their goals. At the heart of my work is the relationship with the individual.
Work experience as a psychotherapeutic counsellor:
From 2021-2022, I have worked with young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, attachment problems, and university/career stress at a low-cost clinic in Chorlton. From 2022-2024, I have worked as a counsellor at The Magdalene Project, an organisation that provides support to trauma survivors.
Previous work experience & background:
With my 10+ years of experience working in the corporate world as a Marketing and IT professional, I've honed my ability to navigate challenges, manage stress effectively, and collaborate with diverse stakeholders. This experience has equipped me with the skills and empathy to guide individuals seeking personal and professional growth. Whether you're facing career setbacks, considering a career change, or striving to enhance your relationships, I'm here to provide support and guidance through personalised therapy sessions.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
