About Lauren

Lauren Percival is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck by offering calm, practical support. She works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, stress, grief and relationship concerns. Lauren also supports people facing addictions, self-esteem struggles, sleeping or eating difficulties, and young adult issues.

She has three years of professional practice and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lauren uses an integrative approach that blends several ways of working so each session fits the person who comes to therapy.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on listening, respect and practical steps people can try between meetings. Her work draws on person-centred ideas that prioritise the individual's experience, Gestalt methods that look at present moment patterns, transactional analysis to map relationship dynamics, and brief solution-focused strategies for quicker goal-setting.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what matters to them and small, achievable plans to test change. Lauren aims to keep things collaborative so people feel involved in choosing what to try next. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers a style suited to people who want clear, compassionate support through life changes and traumatic experiences.

Approaches that work well online and in conversation

Lauren draws on person-centred work that focuses on hearing the person's experience and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. This helps with anxiety, depression and recovering from difficult events by prioritising what matters right now.

She also uses Gestalt methods which encourage noticing patterns in the present moment and experimenting with small changes. That can be useful for people who want to better understand how they react in relationships or recurring situations. Brief solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and try practical steps between sessions, which suits people who want concrete progress in a few meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a conversational feel and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and messaging or chat suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family life.
