About Lauren

Lauren Burns is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain and career worries. Her work also covers issues like low self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns and coping with life changes.

Lauren uses a gentle, person-focused style. Sessions start by listening to your story and understanding what you want to change. She aims to help people notice patterns, build coping skills and make small practical steps that improve day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods when practical tools or different perspectives will help. This mix lets her tailor work to each person rather than using the same approach for everyone.

Lauren has four years of experience between independent practice and volunteer counselling in the NHS. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Work in the room is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through, create new ways of coping and build on what already works for you.

How Lauren's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and how patterns of relating repeat in adult life; this can help people with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and attachment wounds. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers; it is useful when someone needs acceptance and space to explore feelings. Cognitive behavioural approaches give practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping strategies.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you decide whether to focus on understanding past patterns, practising new skills, or a combination of both.

Online therapy makes those choices flexible. Video calls let you see facial cues and go deeper in conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when you need lower bandwidth or want to avoid being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflection or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping continuity with the same therapist.
