About me

My name is Lauren, a fully qualified and Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist. You may be here because you have lost your sense of self, you have experienced challenging life events, transitions, trauma or you have dysfunctional relationship dynamics that are becoming unbearable. The impact of this can be huge. Consequently, it can have long term effects on your physical and mental health, relationships and your work or caring responsibilities. You don't have to endure this alone, I know how isolating it can be when you when you feel different to those around you, not fitting in or living up to what society deems normal. You may look fine to the outside world, but on the inside you are hurting and desperate for something to change.

Areas of interest

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate and tailored to your needs. I help clients process past experiences, manage emotional triggers and develop practical tools for change. You'll build resilience, establish healthy boundaries and cultivate meaningful relationships. Together, we'll move from surviving to thriving, so you can feel calmer, more grounded and free to live a life that truly reflects who you are on the inside.

I have worked with individuals from a range of diverse backgrounds in race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation (LGBTQ+), religion, disability, neurodiversity and cultural identity. Alongside private practice I am a long standing Associate Counsellor of a charity that specialises in childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence and domestic abuse.
