About Laura
Laura Lovelock is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers calm, practical help for stress, anxiety, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. Laura writes plainly and listens closely so parents can talk through what feels most urgent.
She aims to make sessions straightforward. Conversations focus on what led to the current difficulty and on small, useful steps to cope better day to day. Sessions can include thinking through routines, communication strategies and ways to manage worry and panic.
Background and approach
Laura has three years of experience as a practising counsellor and many additional years supporting young people with autism and Asperger syndrome. That background informs her approach to sensory needs, routine, and clear communication when working with parents and individuals. Her work also covers ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and social anxiety.
She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and family problems by helping them notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The aim is to build confidence and practical coping skills so everyday life feels more manageable.

Approaches that suit online parenting support
Laura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear strategies and coping skills. One approach involves structured problem-solving and practical skill-building to reduce anxiety and make everyday tasks feel easier; this is useful for panic, worry and parenting stresses. Another approach emphasises understanding patterns of thought and behaviour so a person can try different responses in moments of overwhelm; this helps with low mood, low self-esteem and social anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt techniques as work progresses. This means sessions can change over time to match shifting needs.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging can work well for quick reflections, note-taking and for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility so people can access therapy in ways that fit their routines and energy levels.
