About Lauren

Lauren Stone is a counsellor who uses a compassionate, person-centred approach to support adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She works in a calm, respectful way that helps people talk through painful experiences and painful thoughts. Lauren holds BACP accreditation, and brings ten years of practice to her work.

Her sessions usually start with listening to what matters most to the person. She helps people make sense of patterns in thinking and feeling.

Background and approach

Practical skills from cognitive behavioural work are mixed with reflective, psychodynamic conversation when it is helpful. Lauren also uses mindfulness practices to help with grounding and managing difficult emotions. Those simple exercises are taught and practised in session so people can use them between meetings.

The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes. She has experience supporting people through grief, relationship difficulties, compassion fatigue and life changes such as separation and loss. Additional areas covered include attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness or pain, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Sessions are available in English and run online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. People start by completing a short questionnaire so the matching process can connect them with a suitable counsellor and schedule sessions that suit their life.

Ways of working Lauren names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches and online therapy options

Lauren blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is discussed together. The counsellor will work with the person to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust over time. This collaborative style helps match methods to what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make access easier around work and family life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and exercises that use visuals, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options are chosen to offer flexibility and to match practical needs.
