About Lauren
Lauren Bourne is a counsellor and psychotherapist with three years' experience supporting adults in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, and works online with people who feel anxious, burned out, low in mood, or who sense that something is off in their life. Sessions aim to slow things down and help clients figure out a next step that feels manageable.
Lauren uses a person-centred stance that prioritises the client’s experience.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Together these approaches help people understand why they might struggle with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship difficulties. In practice she offers early-intervention counselling and supportive therapy rather than crisis services.
Typical conversations cover persistent anxiety or depression, the effects of emotional neglect or abuse, and strong fears of abandonment or rejection. Clients also work on building boundaries, handling emotional closeness, and reducing self-sabotaging behaviours. Therapy sessions focus on building emotional regulation, resilience, and clearer self-understanding.
Lauren aims to help people increase self-worth, reduce overwhelm, and create more supported ways of relating. She works at a gentle pace and does not provide direct advice or quick fixes. Her online practice includes video, phone, live chat, and text messaging formats.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to be heard, reflect, and try out different ways of managing anxiety and relationship difficulty.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Lauren combines a person-centred approach with attachment-informed work. Person-centred therapy means sessions are shaped by what matters to the client. The counsellor listens, reflects, and helps the client notice patterns without giving direct advice. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship experiences affect current trust and closeness. This helps explain repeated patterns in relationships and strong fears of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process that aims to match practical techniques to what the person wants to change or understand.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or need flexible, on-the-go ways to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or different time zones while working with registered or accredited professionals.
