Background and approach

Her work is straightforward and respectful. Clients are treated as equals and listened to without judgement. In sessions she draws on several ways of working to suit the person in front of her.

That may mean using person-centred ideas to build trust, or brief solution-focused techniques to set small, practical goals. Other influences she uses include Gestalt and Transactional Analysis elements when they seem helpful for the moment. Sessions can cover practical coping skills, talking through difficult feelings, rebuilding routine, or managing relationship tensions.

Lauren aims to help people spot small changes that make daily life easier and clearer. She keeps language simple and focuses on what clients want to achieve. People meet with her by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

The subscription model is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time. To begin, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Lauren works from an integrative base and commonly draws on person-centred work and brief solution-focused methods. Person-centred work involves listening closely and helping someone name what matters, which can build trust even through a video call. Brief solution-focused techniques focus on practical, small steps and clear goals to reduce stress and ease anxiety in everyday life.

She also uses elements from Gestalt and Transactional Analysis when they help a person understand patterns in relationships or mood. Gestalt-style questions can help someone notice what they are feeling in the moment, while Transactional Analysis ideas can clarify interaction patterns that cause friction. The therapist will discuss options and agree which approaches to try together, so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows fuller face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited and for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily check-ins, or need flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, study or family life.
