About Lauren
Lauren Stone is a counsellor who focuses on practical, person-centred work. She brings ten years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find immediate coping skills and longer term understanding.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and to build skills that reduce symptoms. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people pause and notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas are brought in where patterns from the past seem to keep repeating in the present. Clients commonly come to her with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and family concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as chronic illness and pain, attachment and abandonment concerns, isolation and life purpose questions.
Sessions aim to combine short-term relief with deeper exploration when needed. Lauren keeps language plain and practical in sessions. She encourages people to bring specific problems and to practise small, useful strategies between meetings.
That helps build confidence and a clearer sense of direction. To begin, she asks people to reflect on their goals and the changes they want to make. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
The focus is on steady, workable steps rather than quick fixes.
How Lauren's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the persons own perspective and strengths, offering space to talk and be heard without judgement. It helps when someone needs acceptance and support to make choices and build self-trust.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical skills. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which can ease anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that balances short-term relief with longer exploration.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people who need a quieter, simpler option or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written support without being on camera. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caring duties, or location while keeping the focus on consistent, practical progress.
