Laura Lovelock, BACP

Laura Lovelock is a United Kingdom based therapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), which indicates professional recognition within the UK counselling field. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore the pressures and transitions life brings and begin to develop more manageable ways of coping.

Laura specialises in anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem and works with people across the lifespan. She also supports families, parents and caregivers, and has experience working with young people with diagnosed autism spectrum conditions including Asperger syndrome. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns from stress and panic to relationship and communication difficulties, social anxiety, and issues related to ageing, chronic illness or caregiving.

Working collaboratively, Laura helps clients identify the factors that brought them to therapy and then builds practical strategies to improve day-to-day functioning and emotional wellbeing. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person, and she offers appointments by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and lifestyles.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online support

Laura uses practical, evidence-based approaches that focus on building skills and understanding patterns. Skills-based techniques teach coping tools for managing anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and stress so daily life feels more manageable and reactions become easier to predict and change. Exploratory, person-centred work helps people make sense of low mood, self-esteem issues and relationship or family difficulties by gently examining thoughts, feelings and past experiences to find clearer ways forward. Family-focused strategies support communication and parenting challenges by helping relatives identify goals and practise new ways of interacting.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Laura works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, online therapy with Laura provides flexibility to choose the format that suits a client’s schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without travel, and to continue therapy through life changes and varying daily demands.
