Laura Lovelock

Laura Lovelock is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. She supports parents and individuals dealing with family and parenting challenges, and she works with those navigating life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what is difficult for them and begin to find clearer ways forward.

Laura is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She brings three years of counselling experience alongside over 20 years of work with young people who have diagnosed autism spectrum conditions, including Asperger syndrome. That background informs how she listens and adapts her approach.

In sessions she focuses on what has brought someone to therapy and on small, practical steps to make daily life more manageable. Conversations are guided by the concerns a person brings, such as panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or feelings of isolation. She pays attention to communication difficulties and caregiver stress when these come up.

Laura also works with people affected by chronic illness, disability, ageing issues and the emotional impact of bereavement or disaster. Her style is steady and collaborative: she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers tools people can try between meetings. The aim is to build skills and self-compassion over time.

Approaches that shape online support

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical changes. One approach involves structured talking and problem-solving to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms by identifying triggers and practising coping steps. Another draws on methods that help challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build self-esteem through small, achievable goals and regular reflection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to understand their needs and preferences, then try methods that suit their goals. If an approach does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together so work stays relevant and manageable.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding being on camera if that feels difficult. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care and make attending more straightforward while they balance family and other responsibilities.
