About Lauren
Lauren Burns is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, parenting strains and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Lauren works in a calm, non-judgemental way to help people feel more able to move forward.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. Lauren draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns today.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours in practical steps. Her background includes almost five years of practice, combining personal work with volunteering for the NHS. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP in her credentials.
Lauren’s approach is collaborative and paced to the individual’s needs. Sessions focus on understanding what drives difficult feelings and on developing everyday tools to cope. Conversations are straightforward and grounded, with attention to both emotions and practical change.

How Lauren works online
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current patterns in relationships. That perspective can help when problems show up as trust difficulties, abandonment fears or repeated relationship cycles. In addition, she uses cognitive behavioural techniques to break down unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping steps for anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape the plan collaboratively. Clients are invited to feedback so methods can be adjusted over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include making sessions easier to fit into a busy life and reducing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling to match work or family routines. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking to ensure they suit your needs.
