Laura Lovelock, BACP

Laura Lovelock is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, nurturing space where people can explore the challenges they are facing and work through them at a manageable pace.

Laura specialises in anxiety, low mood, and low self esteem, and she works with people of all ages. She also brings over 20 years of experience working with young people diagnosed with ASD and Aspergers, which informs her understanding of neurodiversity and developmental needs. Her approach focuses on identifying what has brought someone to therapy and developing practical ways to cope that fit the person’s life.

With an emphasis on collaboration, Laura helps clients clarify their goals and build skills to manage stress, improve communication within families, and strengthen self-worth. She aims to help people feel more able to handle life’s changes and day-to-day pressures, supporting them to find clearer, more manageable ways forward.

Evidence-based approaches and convenient online support

Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill building with reflective work. One strand focuses on skills-based strategies to manage anxiety and low mood - learning techniques to recognise triggers, regulate emotions, and develop healthier coping responses that can be practised between sessions. Another strand emphasises supportive, exploratory work for family, parenting, and self-esteem concerns - helping clients improve communication, process difficult feelings, and strengthen self-worth in everyday relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and preferences, and then adapts methods to suit individual needs so therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Laura is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without the need to travel, helping clients maintain progress in a way that fits their life.
