About Lauryn
Lauryn Harris is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people coping with anxiety and related difficulties. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make it easier to talk about painful or worrying experiences. Her style is warm and focused on each person's needs.
She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds NCPS, which reflects her professional credential. Lauryn has three years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns.
Background and approach
These include addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms. In sessions she listens closely and adapts methods to suit the person in front of her.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work to help people build coping skills and clearer thinking. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect present choices. People often come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to make changes.
She supports practical steps as well as exploring feelings behind behaviours. That might mean learning ways to manage stress, improving communication, or working through issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Her way of working aims to create steadier emotional ground and more useful coping options.
Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and pace. Lauryn also offers online options for people outside her local area.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and for making changes that matter to you. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, using warmth and acceptance to help someone explore feelings at their own pace.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide what to try first and adjust methods as progress is made in later sessions.
Online appointments are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, while chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to access help when distance would otherwise be a barrier.
