About Lauren

Lauren Gordon is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She regularly helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, self-esteem and confidence, and motivation. Lauren also supports clients facing relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

Her style is based on client-centred therapy, which means conversations focus on the person's perspective and needs. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the individual. Lauren aims to listen carefully and respond in ways that feel practical and relevant.

She has worked across a range of common concerns for young adults, including coping with change, starting careers or study, and the pressure of relationships. Lauren also supports people with issues around intimacy, eating, anger, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment questions, chronic illness, and body image.

In sessions she works through what matters most now, identifies small steps forward, and revisits plans as circumstances change. Clients can expect clear discussion about goals and what might help between sessions. Lauren uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions useful rather than theoretical.

For anyone wanting to begin, the typical route is to use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy starts by focusing on the person's experience and what matters to them. It uses open listening and reflective conversation so the client can shape the topics and pace. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and adapting to life changes.

Because the method values the client's perspective, therapy online is still a collaborative process. The therapist will check goals, preferences and practical needs together. They will adjust how sessions run as understanding grows, and revisit what is working from week to week.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around study or work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer blocks to explore deeper issues. The focus is on finding a way of meeting that fits daily life while exploring stress, relationships, identity and other concerns important in early adulthood.
