About Lauren
Lauren Burns is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with clients on grief, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and major life changes. Lauren aims to make conversations straightforward and kind so people can start to feel steadier sooner.
She draws on a mix of approaches, including existential ideas about meaning, attachment-focused work around relationships, and client-centred listening. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs, with practical steps and time to talk through feelings.
Background and approach
Lauren keeps things collaborative and paced to the individual. Lauren holds BACP registration, which is listed among her credentials. She has about four years of experience, including time in independent practice and volunteering in NHS counselling roles.
That background informs a calm, down-to-earth style in sessions. Her work often focuses on patterns that repeat in relationships, struggles with self-worth, and the impact of past experiences. Lauren helps people spot unhelpful cycles and build clearer ways of responding.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence, or substance issues by working through what has happened and planning safer choices. Conversations typically include checking what matters most, gentle reflection, and simple exercises to try between sessions. Lauren aims to leave people with practical coping skills and a clearer sense of direction.
When someone is ready to start, she helps them take the next step at a manageable pace.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Existential therapy asks practical questions about meaning, choices and what matters to you. It helps when life feels confusing, empty or out of step with your values and can open up new ways to make decisions and find purpose.Attachment-based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. It is useful when patterns from early connections cause repeated conflict, trust issues or intimacy difficulties, and it focuses on building safer ways of relating.
Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and supports the person to find their own solutions and build self-compassion.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lauren will work together with each person to choose or blend methods that suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, quick coping support, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
