About Lauren

Lauren Baxendale works with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem, and she uses client-centred approaches that focus on the person rather than the problem. She has five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She helps people who are coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction and substance concerns, and grief. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career pressures. Her practice includes attention to attachment and blended family issues, body image and communication problems.

In sessions she works from a client-centred perspective. That means she follows the person’s concerns, listens for what matters most, and gives space for clients to find their own solutions. Conversations are plain and direct, and the focus is on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Her background includes five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom and BACP membership. That membership is the credential noted in her profile. She encourages people to reflect on their strengths and to recognise small changes that can make daily life easier.

People considering counselling are invited to think about immediate concerns they want to address, such as mood, stress or relationship patterns. Lauren supports practical coping skills alongside reflective work about values and goals. To start, clients choose the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her client-centred approach works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and on building a trusting working relationship. The counsellor listens without directing the story, reflects back what she hears, and helps people clarify what matters most; this approach can help with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.

The same client-centred principles can be used in remote sessions. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide what methods and pacing suit the person best, and will review progress together as work continues. Finding the right approach is part of the work and is agreed between counsellor and client.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, such as shorter check-ins at lunchtime or sessions that avoid travel time. It also allows a steady therapeutic contact while you consider practical steps between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to adapt methods to a person's goals and circumstances.
