About Lauren
Lauren Burns is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, anger and other life strains. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, addiction issues, grief and parenting pressures. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Lauren uses a client-centred, integrative style. That means she listens first and helps people decide which tools to try. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, existential thinking and psychodynamic approaches. In practice this looks like talking through patterns, trying new ways to respond, and practising small changes between sessions.
She often focuses on how past relationships shape current reactions. That can help when anger, distrust or emptiness shows up in day-to-day life. Lauren pays attention to communication and commitment concerns, codependency and family of origin issues that often sit beneath repeated clashes.
Practical coping skills are combined with reflective work. For example, someone might learn breathing or thought-challenging techniques alongside looking at old response patterns. Lauren describes therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic, step-by-step goals.
Her additional focus areas include addiction, domestic violence, dissociation and attachment difficulties. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Lauren blends attachment-based work with cognitive behavioural ideas in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how relationships from the past affect current reactions and can help with anger, trust and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete tools for stress, anxiety and managing strong emotions. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. The therapist and client discuss goals, try a few methods and adjust what they do based on what helps. This means the work can shift between talking about patterns and practising specific techniques as needed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let someone progress with reflective tasks and practical skill practice between conversations. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions useful for keeping continuity when life gets busy, and Lauren will work with each person to find what fits their routine.Areas of expertise
