Laura Lovelock, BACP

Laura Lovelock is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing family and parenting pressures and those coping with life changes. Laura is a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Laura keeps the work straightforward. She asks what brought someone to therapy and looks at practical ways to make problems feel more manageable. Sessions focus on small steps and clearer choices so everyday life feels easier to handle. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk and be heard.

Her background includes three years of counselling experience in addition to long-standing work with young people who have a diagnosis of autism or Asperger's. That earlier work informs her steady, patient approach when discussing routine and sensory needs. She draws on this experience to help adults and parents understand patterns and make practical adjustments.

Sessions often cover coping tools for anxiety and panic, ways to lift low mood, and strategies for building self-respect. Laura can also help with communication problems and feelings of isolation or guilt. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s pace and goals.

To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based techniques are used online

Laura uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help with anxiety and low mood. One commonly used approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breath work, grounding exercises and short behavioural experiments to test unhelpful thoughts. These techniques aim to reduce intense worry and make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Another approach emphasises building self-esteem through small, achievable actions and gentle reflection on strengths and values. This helps people shift harsh self-judgement and try different ways of relating to themselves over time. Both approaches are adapted to suit each person's pace and needs rather than following a fixed script.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor and client discuss goals and preferences, try methods that feel suitable, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps find what works best for the individual.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so people should confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people focus on skills practice between sessions and bring real-life problems into discussion more quickly.
