About Lauren

Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with life changes, relationship worries, grief and difficulties around eating or sleep. Lauren works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Sessions focus on listening first, then gently testing different ways to cope and move forward.

Background and approach

Lauren aims for practical steps small enough to try between appointments. Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation follows what matters to the client rather than a fixed agenda. That approach helps when people feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what they want next.

It is often useful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues and caring-related stress. Lauren has five years of professional experience and lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with people feeling the impact of trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD and midlife change, among other issues.

Sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a time that fits their schedule. Lauren aims to create a calm, straightforward space where practical steps and a client’s own goals lead the pace.

Ways of working Lauren names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person rather than telling them what to do. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people notice their own choices and resources. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and finding direction after life changes.

Lauren aims to work collaboratively to find the right way forward. She will discuss what feels most helpful, try different ways of working and adjust sessions to match a client’s goals and preferences. Figuring out which approach fits is part of the therapy process rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face without travelling, phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less data, live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule regular time and to keep continuity even with a busy life.
