About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, motivation problems and major life changes. Lauren places the client at the centre of sessions and treats people as the expert on their own story.
Her practical style focuses on listening and helping clients notice their own strengths. Conversations aim to make everyday decisions feel clearer. She avoids jargon and keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters now.
Lauren uses a client-centred approach to help people who are struggling with relationships, addictions, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports work on sleep, eating concerns, anger and career worries. People bring concerns about ADHD, attachment and family problems, and she helps them talk through those challenges in a manageable way.
Sessions often cover practical skills for coping, exploring values and building self-understanding. Lauren helps people break down big problems into small steps. She works with clients who want to improve communication, manage mood disorders or address issues such as body image and isolation.
For those starting out, Lauren asks straightforward questions about what matters and what to try first. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. To begin, clients use the online matching process to select a session time and schedule an initial appointment.
How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the client lead the conversation. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what has been said, asks questions that clarify priorities and supports the person to make their own choices. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and challenges like low self-esteem.The counsellor will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative task. Together they will review what is helping, what feels uncomfortable and what goals to aim for. The client’s needs, goals and preferences guide which methods are used and how sessions are structured.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work and busy weeks. It can allow shorter check-ins, sessions outside commuting hours and fewer disruptions to daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt conversation style and pacing to suit a video call, telephone session or other supported format so sessions fit into everyday life.
