About Lauren
Lauren Burns is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and big life changes. Lauren also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue and career concerns.
Lauren uses a client-centred, integrative approach. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficult feelings and trying small, practical steps that can change daily life. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on psychodynamic and existential thinking to look at deeper meanings and personal values.
Work with Lauren tends to be conversational and reflective. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns, practise different responses and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Practical coping strategies are used alongside exploration of past and present experiences.
Sessions often cover topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, family of origin concerns, communication and commitment problems. Lauren also addresses anger, intimacy-related issues, dissociation, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and drug and alcohol addiction.
Her approach aims to help people build stronger self-awareness and clearer choices about relationships, work and boundaries. She encourages gradual change and supports clients in developing everyday skills that make daily pressures easier to manage. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are recommended.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lauren commonly uses client-centred work and attachment-based ideas in therapy. Client-centred work focuses on being listened to and understood, helping people name feelings and decide what matters to them. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current struggles and helps people try different ways of relating.She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments. CBT-style steps can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing everyday stress by breaking problems into small, testable actions.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps fit methods to the issues someone brings, whether that is relationship patterns, mood or coping with life transitions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or travel and can reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to shorter check-ins or practical home tasks, which can be useful when balancing college, work or other commitments.
