About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. She helps with confidence and self-esteem issues, motivation, and managing life changes. Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own story.
Lauren aims to make taking the first step feel achievable and compassionate. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is worrying them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening closely and reflecting back what matters, so clients can find their own solutions and build on their strengths. Conversations tend to be practical and down to earth rather than full of jargon. Over five years of practice in the United Kingdom have shaped a straightforward style.
Lauren is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. That registration appears alongside her professional background. Typical areas she supports include relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strains and work-related stress.
She also works with concerns such as body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, career questions and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Sessions aim to identify small, useful steps that fit each person’s life. Many people come for help with anger, intimacy-related worries, attachment issues, or midlife questions.
Lauren explains options clearly and helps people weigh approaches that suit their needs. Her goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Client-centred support through online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship struggles where being heard helps people find their own direction.In practice the work is collaborative. The counsellor and client decide together what to try and how to measure progress. If one way of working does not feel right, they review options and adjust the approach so it better fits the person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people speak face to face when convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to check in without being on camera and to keep a written record of themes discussed. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, and the therapist will help choose the format that best suits each person.
