About me
Therapy doesn't have to feel cold, clinical, or intimidating.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying heavy stuff from your past, reaching out for help can feel daunting. But taking that first step doesn't mean sitting in a rigid room with someone nodding silently at you.
I’m Lauren, a down-to-earth, warm, and approachable counsellor who believes real therapy happens when you can just be completely yourself.
No Quick Fixes. Just Deep, Real Work
I don't do superficial band-aids or "tick-box" therapy. I prefer to really sit in the depth of the work with you, helping you make sense of things from the inside out. I combine the below modalities to fit what you need :
- Humanistic: Understanding who you are right now and what you need today.
- Psychodynamic: Exploring how you got here and how past experiences shape your present.
- CBT: Building practical tools for where you want to go and how to get there.
Working with - Adults, Children, Young People
While a significant part of my practice focuses on children and young people. I am equally passionate about supporting adults. My work with adult clients often centers on processing childhood trauma, navigating painful relationship breakdowns, coping with grief, and managing anxiety or major life transitions in a safe, confidential space.
I bring a breadth of frontline experience across diverse specialist settings. Including supporting children who have experienced domestic violence, working within a homeless center, and delivering targeted support in an addiction facility.
Whether working with an adult processing past or present challenges, or a young person navigating trauma, abuse, or difficult relationships, building genuine trust, warmth, and safety is at the core of everything I do.
Let’s Have a Chat First
Finding a therapist you actually click with is the most important part of this process.
I offer a free, informal 15-minute phone call so we can have a relaxed chat, answer any questions, and see how it feels to talk, zero pressure attached.
Drop me an email or a message whenever you're ready, and we can set up a time.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
