About Lauren

Lauren Stone offers a calm, approachable counselling style rooted in client-centred work. She uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Lauren writes plainly and listens closely so clients can say what matters to them.

She draws on ten years of experience working with trauma, grief and relationship difficulties. Her practice pays attention to how past events shape current patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to reduce distress and build clearer ways of coping with life changes. Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and teach skills that ease symptoms. She also uses client-centred methods to encourage people to make sense of feelings in their own words and find their own solutions.

When useful, she explores deeper patterns with psychodynamic work to understand repeating behaviours rooted in earlier experiences. Her approach is practical and collaborative. People can expect a mix of talking, learning small exercises and reflecting on how past experience links to present problems.

Sessions move at a pace the client chooses and focus on what is useful right now. Lauren is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, commonly shown as BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers online sessions in English.

Ways of working Lauren names

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

Approaches you can use in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you, so you feel understood and can work out your own next steps. It helps when people need space to make sense of feelings without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood because it gives clear steps to change how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about what feels most useful and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is close to in-person contact, phone can be less bandwidth intensive, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging lets you reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or mobility needs while keeping focus on progress.
