About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale helps people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem worries, life changes and addictive behaviours. Lauren also works with grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and sleep.
She introduces a calm, patient presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Lauren sees each person as the expert on their own life. She focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what she hears.
Background and approach
This helps people spot patterns and decide what they want to change. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with a focus on what matters most to the client. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person’s experience at the heart of the work.
Lauren aims to offer a non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and try new ways of coping. Conversations can cover things like family problems, career stress, body image and parenting pressures. She brings five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.
Lauren holds BACP, which indicates her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She uses that framework to guide ethical and reflective practice. If someone is unsure what to expect, Lauren invites a short initial conversation to clarify needs and goals.
That first step is framed as a chance to see whether her style feels like a good fit.

How Lauren works online
The focus is on the individual’s pace and goals. The therapist and client work together to find what best supports progress, trying different ways of working if needed. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the client finds most helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming options will make it clear how meetings fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help choose the format that best fits your needs and daily life.
