About Lauren
Lauren Stone is a counsellor with ten years' experience who focuses on helping adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She is registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). Lauren offers a calm, accepting space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Client-Centred work helps people make sense of their feelings by listening and reflecting rather than directing.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeated patterns that may come from past events. Lauren commonly helps with issues such as grief, relationship strain, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
She also supports people facing feelings of emptiness, shame or isolation, and those juggling caregiving or chronic illness alongside everyday pressures. Sessions aim to build understanding and practical ways to cope. Her style is straightforward and warm.
She encourages people to notice the strengths they already have and to try small, manageable steps between sessions. Conversations are guided by each person's pace and priorities. To begin, people are invited to use the service Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
From there they can schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability and the subscription arrangements in place.

How Lauren works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and includes simple exercises people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. Decisions are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around a busy day, avoiding travel, and choosing a quieter time or place to pause and reflect. For some people, shorter check-ins are easier to fit into a work break, and not being on camera can make initial sessions feel less intense. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor sessions to suit what works best for each person.
