About Laura
Laura Lovelock helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in self esteem, or struggling with life changes. She also supports those facing parenting pressures and family conflict. Laura uses a calm, straightforward style to make conversations feel manageable and clear.
Laura is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She draws on three years of formal counselling experience and a longer track record working with young people with autism spectrum conditions.
How Laura works
This background informs her practical, patient approach. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current difficulties. Laura listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and daily routines.
Together she and the client try simple, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. She pays attention to how family roles and parenting demands affect stress and sense of self. Work can include improving communication, managing strong emotions, and finding better ways to cope with illness, pain or caregiving strain.
Laura keeps language plain and avoids clinical jargon. Meetings tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her aim is to help people feel steadier and better able to cope with day-to-day life.

Approaches and online therapy options
Laura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is structured problem-solving, which breaks issues into smaller parts and identifies steps that reduce immediate stress. This method helps with anxiety, panic and day-to-day overwhelm.Another useful approach is skills-based work for emotional regulation. That involves learning short exercises and new communication habits to manage strong feelings and improve relationships. It is often helpful for parenting strain, family tension and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's situation. They will adapt the plan together as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work and other commitments.
