About Laura

Laura Lovelock is a counsellor with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) who focuses on everyday pressures such as stress and anxiety. She helps people who are struggling with low mood, low self-esteem, family or parenting concerns, and life changes. Laura explains things simply and works at a pace that suits each person.

She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage panic, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety and coping with chronic illness or caring roles. Laura also has experience supporting people facing isolation or guilt and shame. Her background includes work with people who have autism and Asperger syndrome, and she has over 20 years of experience working with young people with these diagnoses.

Clients can expect conversations that look at what led to their current difficulties and aim to develop clearer ways of coping. Sessions are focused on real-life problems and straightforward strategies to make daily life more manageable. Laura works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

She has three years of experience in the counselling profession alongside her longer history supporting young people with autism. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats offered by Laura.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that support work and wellbeing online

Laura uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on practical strategies to reduce panic and manage obsessive thinking by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps and practising new responses. Another approach centres on mood and self-esteem, helping people recognise unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, needs and preferences. She will check progress and adapt the plan if something is not helping.

For practical arrangements, please confirm the specific session formats Laura currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more regular check-ins when needed. It also helps people keep continuity of care when schedules change, while letting therapists and clients focus on day-to-day problems and realistic steps forward.
