About Lauryn

Lauryn Harris is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers calm, practical support for people facing emotional challenges. She works in a warm, respectful way and focuses on helping each person at their own pace. Lauryn uses person-centred values to create a straightforward space for talking and change.

She has three years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar. Codependency and attachment issues are also listed among her areas of focus. Her approach is rooted in listening first, then tailoring tools and conversation to what a person needs next.

Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to build practical steps forward. Lauryn draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when those frameworks are helpful. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods to prioritise connection and personal meaning.

Her work often includes coping strategies for stress, techniques for managing anxiety and emotion regulation skills. She also supports people dealing with career pressure, parenting strain, chronic health issues and the emotional effects of caregiving. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.

People who choose to work with Lauryn can expect a collaborative, paced process. She invites clients to explore values, build resilience and try practical exercises between sessions. The goal is clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning rather than instant solutions.

How Lauryn’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and long-term behaviour change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, often helping with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy centres on understanding patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current reactions, which is useful for codependency and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and the therapist will help you decide what fits best. This is a collaborative process that considers your goals, daily life and what feels manageable. Sessions can blend different methods so the plan evolves as you progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access a therapist regardless of location, which can be helpful for those juggling work, family or health commitments.
