About Lauren
Lauren Stone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience working with adults. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Lauren also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiver stress.
Her style blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on recognising unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns. She helps people notice how past events affect present reactions and relationships.
In practice Lauren uses conversation and structured exercises. That can include identifying thought patterns and practising simple mindfulness skills. She also invites reflection on repeating patterns that come from earlier experiences and how these affect daily life.
She supports adults facing life transitions like leaving home, starting a new job, or coping with loss. Lauren aims to help people develop skills for managing stress and anxiety, and to make sense of difficult emotions. Sessions encourage gradual change rather than quick fixes.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It is about helping people notice their feelings and make their own decisions. This can support those who feel unsure about identity, relationships or direction in life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviour. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. CBT can be useful for managing stress, worry and daily coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will talk with each person about goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to use more CBT, mindfulness exercises, or to look into deeper patterns with psychodynamic ideas. The plan can change as the work progresses and as needs become clearer.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts, or commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins on busier days, or sessions without needing to be on camera if that helps. Many people find remote sessions easier to arrange alongside early-career commitments.
