About Laura
Laura Lovelock is a counsellor registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She offers calm, steady support for people feeling stressed, anxious, or low in mood. Parents worried about family life or parenting pressures can find straightforward help. She also supports people coping with life changes and building self-esteem.
Laura has practical experience with autism and Asperger syndrome, having worked with young people for over 20 years. That background informs how she listens and responds to sensory needs and clear communication styles. She draws on that experience when helping clients and carers manage stress and the ongoing demands of caregiving.
In sessions she focuses on what brought someone to therapy and on small, manageable steps forward. Conversations are plain and direct. She aims to make ideas easy to try in daily life, such as simple routines or realistic ways to tackle worry.
Her work also covers issues like chronic illness, isolation, compulsive worries or behaviours, panic, guilt, and women's concerns. She supports people dealing with the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters and the upheaval those events can bring.
Laura has three years' experience in her current practice alongside her longer work with young people. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are invited to use the site's matching process to find out more and choose a suitable time.
How therapeutic approaches work for online support
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to reduce anxiety and improve daily coping. One common approach focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thought patterns to lower worry and panic. This helps people break cycles of anxious thinking and try new ways of responding to stress.Another helpful approach emphasises practical skills and routines. It uses small, structured steps to manage low mood, build self-esteem and handle ongoing challenges like chronic illness or caregiving demands. Clients practise straightforward actions between sessions to make gradual change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands, and will help choose methods that fit each person's situation. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
