About Lauren

Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also supports clients with self‑esteem, motivation and confidence. Her style is warm and down to earth, with a focus on helping people find their own strengths and solutions.

She works from the idea that each person knows their own story best. Conversations centre on what matters to the client and on practical steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful so people can make steady progress at their own pace. Lauren uses client‑centred therapy, which means she listens carefully and follows the client’s priorities. She encourages reflection and makes space for feelings while keeping an eye on achievable changes.

That approach is often helpful for concerns like relationship strain, grief, addiction or coping with major life transitions. With five years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Lauren draws on simple, evidence‑informed practice rather than jargon.

She seeks to create an atmosphere where people can explore difficult topics such as trauma, intimacy or body image without pressure. Sessions can include talking through patterns, trying small behavioural experiments, and building routines for better sleep, eating or mood. Lauren’s aim is to help people leave sessions with clearer options and practical next steps.

How Lauren uses client‑centred care online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following what the client says matters most. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, helps clarify goals and supports people to discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for worries like anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and coping with change.

Lauren’s main approach places the client at the centre of the process. She will work collaboratively to find what feels right, adjusting pace and techniques to match personal goals and day‑to‑day life. Together they set priorities and try steps that the client can use between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility for modern life. Video calls let people maintain face‑to‑face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit quick check‑ins, shorter reflections or those who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping continuity with the same counsellor.
