About Laura
Laura Lovelock is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years recorded experience. She works with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem problems and coping with life changes, and lists guilt and shame among the issues she supports.
Laura talks plainly about what brings someone to therapy and looks at practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep painful feelings alive and on building small steps that reduce overwhelm. She also draws on her longer history of work with young people on the autism spectrum when relevant to a client's situation.
Her approach is steady and conversational. She listens for where shame or guilt shows up in relationships, beliefs or routines, and helps people name those moments. Work in sessions may include thinking through alternatives, practising different responses, and slowing down decisions that feel driven by fear.
Laura has spent many years supporting young people with diagnosed autism and Asperger Syndrome, and brings that experience into adult work when it matters to a client's goals. She also has experience with chronic health and caregiving stresses, and with isolation or panic symptoms.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Confirm the current session formats before booking to make sure they fit day-to-day life.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Laura describes her work using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive-style methods look at unhelpful thinking patterns and test more balanced ways of understanding situations; these can help with anxiety, rumination and guilt-related thinking.Behaviour-focused techniques involve practising small changes in everyday life. That might mean trying a new way of responding in a relationship, scheduling short activities that lift mood, or breaking tasks into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and shame-driven avoidance.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a client's goals, needs and personal preferences, adjusting the focus as those needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work breaks or travel, and some approaches adapt well to shorter check-ins or exercises carried out between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals like this counsellor can explain practical arrangements when you schedule the first meeting.
