Lauren Bourne is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of clinical experience. Lauren offers online sessions for adults and focuses on helping people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like something isn’t right in their relationships or everyday life.

She works in a person-centred and attachment-based way, which means conversations centre on the client's experience and early relationship patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a steady pace so people can notice feelings without being pushed. Lauren aims to help clients understand their needs, triggers and patterns rather than giving direct solutions. People come to her with anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma or a sense of isolation.

She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles such as trust issues, fear of abandonment, codependency and difficulties with communication. Practical aims often include clearer boundaries, better emotional regulation and greater self-worth. Lauren frames therapy as early-intervention counselling and supportive sessions rather than crisis care.

She focuses on helping clients build more stable connections, heal old wounds and reduce repeating relationship patterns. Work together typically includes exploring past experiences, naming patterns and practising small changes in how clients relate to themselves and others. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

The emphasis is on creating a calm, steady space where clients can slow down, be heard and decide what to try next at their own pace.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lauren practises person-centred and attachment-based work, focusing on the client's experience and relationship patterns. Person-centred work involves listening closely to what matters most to the client and helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. Attachment-based work looks at early bonds and how those patterns affect current relationships and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions to the client's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods evolve as the client becomes clearer about what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins, more frequent contact or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while still working towards clearer boundaries, greater emotional regulation and improved relationship patterns.

She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.
