About Lauren
Lauren Burns is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and anger. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and life changes.
Lauren keeps sessions straightforward and people-focused. She uses client-centred listening to let people tell their story without judgement. She pays attention to how past attachments and life events shape current feelings and reactions.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect trust and intimacy. She also brings psychodynamic thinking into conversations to notice repeating patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used when practical steps and thinking strategies are helpful.
In sessions Lauren helps people spot triggers, try new responses and practise different ways of communicating. She aims to help clients build clearer personal boundaries and reduce reactive responses. Conversations include practical coping strategies alongside exploration of deeper issues.
She has worked in private practice and as a volunteer counsellor in NHS settings. That background informs a down-to-earth style that balances emotional exploration with real-life problem solving. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. Online sessions can be used to notice how those patterns show up now and to practise different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection so clients can put words to difficult feelings; that approach helps people slow down and make clearer choices about responses and boundaries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which suits work on anger triggers and coping strategies.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods over time. Clients and the therapist check in about progress and change direction if something is not working well.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also makes it straightforward to continue practical CBT exercises between meetings and to review progress from week to week.
