About Lauren

Lauren Stone offers a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about what is worrying them. She is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has ten years of experience working with adults. Lauren aims to help people feel heard and to build practical ways forward.

She uses client-centred approaches to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. That means sessions focus on the person’s own perspective, with the counsellor helping them notice patterns and make decisions for themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and learn small skills to ease symptoms in everyday life.

Lauren also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that come from earlier experiences. Talking about these patterns can show how old reactions still influence current relationships and mood. Mindfulness-based techniques are woven in to help with stress, grounding, and noticing thoughts without judgement.

Her work covers common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, isolation and struggles with self-worth. Lauren describes clients as the experts in their own lives and supports them to use their strengths.

Taking the first step can feel hard, so Lauren keeps the first sessions straightforward. People can expect a clear, respectful conversation about what they want to change and how therapy might fit into their life.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and notice their own choices, which can work well in an online conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and these techniques are easy to practise between sessions and review remotely.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, then agree a plan that feels right. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.

Practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions around busy days and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep a short check-in between commitments or to continue therapy during life changes. Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.
