Lauren Burns helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. She supports people coping with life changes, grief, compassion fatigue and addiction. Parents concerned about parenting pressures and intimacy issues will also find practical help.

Lauren works in plain language and focuses on steady, realistic progress. Lauren uses a mix of approaches so sessions fit each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard and can set the pace. Cognitive behavioural tools are offered when people want practical steps to manage thoughts and feelings. Lauren trained and practises with a Bachelor of Arts credential recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She has four years of experience in both independent practice and volunteering in NHS settings. That background informs a calm, straightforward style and a focus on what helps now. Sessions are collaborative.

Lauren helps people identify patterns, try new ways of relating and build simple coping strategies. She pays attention to how family of origin, attachment and past trauma may shape current struggles and works at a pace the client can manage. People can expect supportive listening alongside clear, small goals.

Lauren aims to leave people feeling more able to handle daily stresses and move forward with greater self-understanding.

Approaches online and how they help

Lauren uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns; this can help with intimacy issues, abandonment worries and repeated relationship problems. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client's pace, which suits people who need a steady, validating space to sort things out. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and routines and is useful for anxiety, depression and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lauren will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful and adapt methods over time. The choice is collaborative and can change as goals evolve and new issues arise.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when it helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief check-ins work well by live chat or messaging. These options make fitting therapy around work, study and family commitments simpler and allow people to keep continuity of care even when travel is difficult.
