About Lauren

Lauren Bourne is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has three years' experience working with adults. Lauren offers a calm, steady approach for people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like something is not right in their relationships or selves.

Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and recover from trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family problems, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation or shame. Sessions are offered online, so people across the UK and internationally can connect by video, phone, live chat or text. Lauren draws on person-centred and attachment-based ways of working.

In practice this means she listens for what matters to each person, reflects back what she hears, and supports people to understand their needs and patterns. Therapy often centres on developing more trusting relationships, clearer boundaries, and steadier emotional responses. She describes her role as providing a paced, compassionate space rather than giving advice or quick fixes.

People can expect a gentle, curious process that looks at past wounds and current triggers to make small, manageable changes. Sessions aim to build confidence, calm and a stronger sense of self. For those ready to begin, Lauren asks people to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

From there, sessions can be scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Everything Lauren lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Lauren uses person-centred and attachment-based approaches in her online work. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and gradually make their own changes. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how they affect current trust, closeness and self-worth. This approach can be useful for people worried about abandonment, trust, or repeating painful relationship cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see what feels most helpful, adapting methods based on your needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may mix listening, reflection, and practical steps to build boundaries, emotional regulation and healthier connection.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirror in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or who need regular, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
