About Lauren

Lauren Gordon is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and self-esteem difficulties. She works with those dealing with relationship and family tensions, LGBT-related concerns, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy. She also supports people coping with parenting demands, compassion fatigue, ADHD and eating or body-image worries.

Lauren uses a client-centred approach that keeps the conversation focused on each person's needs. She listens without judgment and adapts sessions to what matters most to the client. That may mean working on practical skills, building confidence, or talking through painful experiences.

She has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes helping people find motivation, manage anger, and navigate life changes such as adoption and blended family adjustments.

Lauren pays attention to how early attachments and codependent patterns shape current relationships. She aims to help clients notice unhelpful habits, set clearer boundaries, and make choices that feel more authentic. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person.

People who choose Lauren can expect straightforward language and a calm, respectful manner. She encourages small steps that build into lasting changes. To begin, readers should confirm session formats and scheduling details before they book.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, attentive space where the client guides the conversation. The counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions, and helps the person clarify their goals. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem issues and relationship concerns because it centres the client’s experience.

Lauren also pays attention to attachment patterns and codependent behaviours. In practice this means noticing recurring relationship habits, talking through what drives them, and supporting clients to try new ways of relating. That style can help with intimacy issues, boundaries and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. It is a collaborative process that may include practical exercises, slower-paced reflection, or short behavioural experiments agreed in session.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy routine and saving travel time. Online work can make it easier to attend regular sessions, combine therapy with work or family commitments, and choose quieter surroundings when needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking to be sure they suit your situation.
