About Lavanniya

Lavanniya Langa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and depression. She also helps with major life changes and anger concerns.

She uses a conversational, person-focused style in sessions. Lavanniya listens to what matters to each person and then shapes the work around those priorities. Conversations are practical and aim to identify small steps that can be tried between sessions.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles. That means looking at how early relationships influence current patterns, and keeping the person’s experience central to the work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when thinking patterns and behaviours are a clear route to change.

She is familiar with issues linked to parenting, adoption and foster care, caregiving strain and ageing concerns. She also works with people dealing with body image, eating and sleeping difficulties, and with those managing chronic illness or pain.

Lavanniya can support people navigating grief, commitment and intimacy questions, and those wanting help with addictive behaviours. Sessions may also explore attachment issues, control and communication problems, and the emotional impact of natural or human-caused disasters.

Sessions are offered in English and Tamil. For clinicians and clients looking for an initial step, she suggests completing the short matching questionnaire and booking a first meeting to discuss goals and practical next steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches guide online sessions

Lavanniya uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationship patterns shape present reactions. This approach helps when anger or tension links back to fears of abandonment, trust or closeness. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which keeps the person’s experience central and uses open dialogue to uncover what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, and to try practical experiments that can reduce reactivity. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. That collaborative way helps people test small changes and see what fits their life and needs. Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as these are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require the camera, which can suit quieter or busier days. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often help clients weigh these practicalities when setting up sessions.
