Lauren Adams trained to Level 7 in Psychotherapeutic Practices and brings six years of experience to her counselling work. She is based in the United Kingdom and sees people aged 16 and over. Lauren is available evenings and weekends to fit around busy lives.

She describes herself as a humanistic, person-centred psychotherapist who draws on Gestalt-influenced ways of working. That means she pays attention to emotions in the body and to feelings that feel stuck or disconnected.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to notice what is happening in the moment and use that material to guide the work. Lauren’s background includes creative work, which she says helps her think quickly in sessions and respond to whatever arises. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression.

She also works with issues such as control, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love and social anxiety. Her approach is grounded and relational. Lauren aims to build a trusting relationship where people feel understood and supported as they explore difficult feelings and patterns.

She offers practical conversation alongside emotional exploration. People who choose Lauren can expect calm, attentive sessions that tune into present experience. She invites clients to take their time and meet the pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Lauren uses person-centred work and draws on Gestalt-influenced techniques. Person-centred work focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s own priorities lead the sessions; it helps with low mood, self-esteem and feeling heard. Gestalt-influenced techniques pay attention to present-moment experience and to sensations in the body, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related feelings and when emotions feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting the way sessions are run as understanding grows. This is a shared process that develops over early meetings.

Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or communicate without being on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family life.
