About Lauren
BACP counsellor, 4 years' experience. Lauren Burns helps people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues.
Lauren uses client-centred and attachment-based ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on what a person brings to the room now, how past relationships affect current patterns, and practical steps to reduce distress. Conversations aim to be direct and grounded rather than theoretical.
She works with common and complex problems including anger, self-esteem struggles, career concerns and parenting pressures. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues and substance use concerns. Lauren can talk about domestic violence and dissociation and supports people processing trauma and abuse.
In practice she combines short-term strategies with space to look at deeper patterns. That can mean trying out new ways of communicating, practising coping skills between sessions, or tracing how old coping styles started. Decisions about pace and focus are made together with the person in front of her.
Sessions are conducted in English and Lauren accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and she uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. In online sessions this often means identifying recurring ways of relating and experimenting with new responses to reduce repeating hurt. Client-centred work places the person's experience at the centre of the session and gives space for concerns to be voiced without judgement. It is useful for building clarity about values and immediate difficulties. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, such as pacing activities, testing beliefs and learning short coping skills.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different options with each person, try methods out in session and adapt based on what helps most. Decisions about pace, homework and targets are agreed together rather than imposed.
The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into busy days and making shorter check-ins easier to arrange. If you prefer to avoid being on camera or need a brief telephone update, confirm the available session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide online sessions in a range of styles, and Lauren uses her described approaches to shape what happens in those meetings.
