About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence issues, and those coping with life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, anger, addiction concerns and problems with sleep or eating.
Lauren believes the client knows their own story best and brings that perspective into conversations. Sessions focus on clear, practical talk rather than jargon. The emphasis is on spotting strengths and using them to face current problems rather than on labels or past blame.
In practice Lauren uses client-centred therapy, which means she listens to what matters to the client and organises sessions around their priorities. She helps people name what is causing distress, try small changes, and notice what works. This can include looking at communication, boundaries, or patterns that keep problems repeating.
She has supported people through grief, trauma and life transitions, and she also addresses issues such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue and midlife concerns. Work may include exploring attachment or blended family tensions, and practical steps for coping with drug or alcohol addiction when that is a focus.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-focused when that fits the person. Lauren encourages clients to set goals for therapy and to review progress regularly. To begin, people use the site matching process to schedule an initial session and see if the approach feels like a good fit.
How client-centred methods translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and following what they say matters. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back concerns, asks practical questions about what is difficult, and supports the person to set small goals. This approach can help with anger, stress, relationship problems and low self-esteem because it starts from the client’s priorities.Working online, the therapist and client treat finding the right way of working as a shared task. They will discuss what style suits the client - more conversational check-ins, goal-focused work, or exploring patterns over time - and adapt the sessions as needs and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process helps identify which techniques are most useful for each person.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people try different ways of talking about anger and stress without rearranging their whole day.
