Background and approach

Sessions often pay attention to physical sensations as well as thoughts. Lauren aims to build a warm, steady relationship where people feel heard and understood. She says starting therapy can feel daunting at any stage, and she wants to make the first steps easier.

Her style is practical and present-focused, working with what comes up in the moment. People come to her with stress, panic, social anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, forgiveness, and self-love.

Lauren tailors sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a rigid formula. Therapy sessions may include talking, noticing body responses, and simple experiments in the room to shift stuck feelings. She invites collaboration and aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and clearer about next steps.

Working with emotions online using practical therapies

Lauren uses humanistic, person-centred work and Gestalt techniques to support people dealing with anxiety, panic and trauma. Person-centred counselling focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person. Gestalt techniques pay attention to sensations in the body and to feelings that feel stuck, using simple in-session experiments to help shift them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they review what comes up in sessions and try ways of working that feel most helpful, adapting as things change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls let you meet face to face without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions around work, study, or family life while keeping continuity of care with a single therapist.
