About Laura
Laura Lovelock is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She specialises in anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem and can help people who are struggling with panic disorder and panic attacks. Laura writes in a calm, practical way and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for worried parents and other adults.
She has three years of experience as a practising counsellor and also brings over 20 years of work with young people who have diagnosed autism spectrum conditions and Asperger syndrome. That background gives her familiarity with communication differences and the stresses carers and parents can face.
In sessions Laura spends time listening to what led someone to seek help. She then works with the person to build coping strategies and small, manageable steps. Conversations are kept plain and focused on everyday problems and solutions rather than jargon.
Clients can expect help with common life stresses such as family tensions, parenting strain, isolation and coping with change. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, grief, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety and issues around self-worth.
Therapy aims to make daily life easier to handle. Laura helps people notice patterns, try practical tools and practise ways of responding differently. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One approach helps people recognise unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving; it suits anxiety, panic and low mood by teaching coping skills and step-by-step behavioural changes. Another approach focuses on building self-esteem through small achievable goals and practising self-care and kinder self-talk to reduce shame and guilt.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust as you go, making sure the work fits daily life and aims you want to reach.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue work while juggling family, health or local commitments, and lets clients focus on practical tools they can use between meetings.
