About Lauren

Lauren Heenan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about difficult feelings. Lauren encourages practical first steps that feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

With five years of professional experience and credentials from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), she draws on several well-established approaches.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is easing anxiety, coping with life changes, or working through grief. Lauren often uses client-centred techniques to build trust and follow each person’s lead. She also integrates cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

These methods can suit problems like panic, low mood or difficulty with intimacy. Her background includes peri-natal mental health interests and experience with trauma, self-esteem and relationship conflict. She works with issues such as postpartum depression, blended family challenges, fertility concerns and fatherhood questions.

Practical talking, gentle reflection and short-term goal-setting are common parts of sessions. Appointments are offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Lauren asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling so sessions can start with clear goals and a shared plan.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for building confidence and working through relationship or self-esteem problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical strategies and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks or change unhelpful patterns of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and day-to-day life, and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans are reviewed as therapy continues so the approach can be adjusted to fit what works best.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical options. Video is helpful for visual connection and longer work, phone can need less bandwidth, chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines.
