About me
Hello I’m Lauren
Becoming a counsellor has been one of the most grounding and fulfilling paths I’ve ever taken. It came from a deep-rooted desire to support others through life’s challenges in a calm, compassionate and open way. As an Integrative Counsellor and Breathwork Practitioner, I believe in supporting both the mind and body, recognising how closely our thoughts, emotions and physical experiences are connected.
Alongside my cosy, welcoming indoor therapy space, I also offer Outdoor Therapy, a nature-based approach to mental health and emotional wellbeing. I invite clients to walk alongside the beautiful canal in Fleet, Hampshire. Being in nature can offer a sense of freedom, movement and a gentle rhythm that often helps thoughts and emotions flow more freely.
I am also a trained Breathwork Practitioner, offering another way to explore emotional wellbeing and reconnect with yourself. Breathwork uses conscious, guided breathing techniques to support relaxation, emotional awareness and a greater sense of calm. Where appropriate, gentle breathwork can be incorporated into our sessions, giving you another way to understand and respond to what you may be experiencing. This is always optional and guided by what feels comfortable and suitable for you.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, life changes, relationship difficulties or simply feeling overwhelmed, our time together will be shaped around your individual needs. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore what's going on for you at a pace that feels right.
You deserve someone who genuinely listens, without assumptions, judgement or expectations. My role isn't to fix you, but to walk alongside you as you find your way through whatever you're facing. I believe in building trust, step by step, through gentle encouragement, honesty and meaningful connection.
Therapy with me is warm, human and real. Whether we meet in my cosy therapy room, walk alongside the canal or explore gentle breathwork together, the focus will always be on what feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and hold the following qualifications:
- Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
- Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies
- Level 2 in Counselling Skills
- 50-Hour Professional Breathwork Coach Training, Breathing Space (Trauma-Sensitive Practice)
These credentials have given me a strong foundation as a practitioner, but what truly shapes the way I work is who I am as a person. I believe in honesty, empathy, and creating a space where you can feel truly seen and heard.
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.
