Thinking out Loud | Counselling with Lauren
You don't have to have it all figured out before you start talking. Maybe you've been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or just not quite yourself lately. Perhaps you're the person everyone else leans on, but you're finding it difficult to keep everything together yourself.

OR maybe you're here because your child is struggling, and you're not quite sure how best to help them.

Whatever has brought you here, you don't need to have the right words or even know exactly what you want to get out of counselling. Sometimes, you just need somewhere to start talking.

Hi, I'm Lauren!
I'm a qualified counsellor offering online and face-to-face counselling for adults, children and young people in Romsey, Southampton.

My approach is relaxed, down-to-earth and tailored to you. No jargon, no judgement and no expectation that you need to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Working with me is more like having a conversation with someone who really listens, gets it, and isn't afraid to ask the questions that might help you see things a little differently. You bring whatever's going on in your world, and we will take it from there!

Counselling for children and young people
Alongside my private practice, I work as a school counsellor, supporting children and teenagers with anxiety, friendship difficulties, low confidence, family changes and the pressures of growing up. My aim is to offer a space where young people feel comfortable being themselves, without worrying about saying the wrong thing or being judged.

A little about me
Before becoming a counsellor, I had a completely different career, but I've always been fascinated by people and what makes us tick. I've worked with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, bereavement, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties and significant life changes.

Clients often tell me they feel at ease talking to me, and that's something I really value. I know how difficult it can be to open up to someone new, especially when you've spent so long trying to keep everything together. My aim is to make counselling feel a little less daunting and a lot more human!! 

Fancy a chat?
I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation so we can have a chat, you can ask any questions, and we can see whether working together feels right for you.

I offer a free 10 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. Online sessions are £50.00 per 50 minute session, and face to face (in person) sessions are £65.00 per 50 minute session.  Couples or family sessions are £70.00 per 50 minute session.

I can be flexible with dates and times with prior notice.
