Hi, I'm Lauren, a Counsellor who will meet you with patience, compassion and acceptance, truly listening and taking the time to understand you. I will listen without judgement, supporting you to navigate things in your own way, at your pace.

I offer Counselling for adults in person and online and have a dedicated therapy room offering a safe, calm and consistent space to work through emotional difficulties you might be experiencing, such as stress, anxiety, loss, self-esteem, relationship issues, life changes, identity exploration and more. I aim to offer a supportive space to connect with yourself and will encourage you to recognise your own strengths and ways of coping.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I am able to tailor my approach to you and your needs. I work collaboratively with you and we can discuss how we work together. My work is seated in Person-Centred foundations incorporating ideas from Compassion Focussed work, mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioural theory. I offer empathy and gentle challenge to help you move forward. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and I aim to place your individual perspective, identity and values at the heart of our work.

It’s important to find a therapist who you click with. Your first session with me will give you the chance to get a sense of me and how I work. I will meet you with kindness and encouragement to help you share a little about what’s going on for you, as well as give you the opportunity to ask any questions. I may also ask you some questions to understand your experience and wellbeing.
