Lauren Stone is a counsellor with ten years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and low mood. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lauren aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what is troubling them and work out practical steps forward.

Her approach draws on client-centred work to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. That means listening first, then tailoring conversations to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce distress. Lauren makes room to look at underlying patterns using psychodynamic ideas. This can help when early experiences keep repeating in adult life.

Mindfulness-based practices are offered to calm the nervous system and improve how someone copes day to day. She has supported people through grief, relationship breakdowns, compassion fatigue and the long-term effects of illness or pain. Other concerns she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose.

Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Conversations are straightforward, with practical tools and reflective work mixed together. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s view and working at their pace. In online sessions this means the counsellor listens carefully and helps people name their feelings before deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviour. It offers practical skills and short exercises people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods to try based on a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT skills, adding mindfulness exercises, or exploring deeper patterns over time with psychodynamic ideas.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit support into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be quicker for short check-ins, and text messaging suits ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, while enabling consistent therapeutic progress.
