About Lauren

Lauren Gordon is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with adults who want practical help for issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Sessions are aimed at people coping with life changes, grief, trauma and LGBT-related concerns.

Lauren uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and working with each person’s priorities. Conversations tend to be straightforward and respectful. She aims to make it easier to name what is happening and to find manageable next steps.

Her practice includes support for people struggling with parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, ADHD and long-term health challenges. She also works with concerns linked to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and blended family issues. Practical topics such as communication problems, control and commitment worries are commonly addressed.

Lauren offers help around intimacy-related issues, body image and eating concerns, as well as recovering from domestic violence and other forms of abuse. She helps people who are dealing with resentment, anger that affects relationships, or the stress that builds up at work or home.

Clients can expect a conversational style that centres their experience and goals. The focus is on realistic steps and clearer choices rather than labels. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to plan the way forward.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens without imposing a fixed plan and follows what the client says matters most. This approach suits people who want to talk through specific difficulties like anger, low self-esteem, relationship friction or life changes and then work out practical steps together.

That way of working is flexible by design. Finding the right approach is part of the process and Lauren will collaborate with each client to decide how the work should proceed. Together they look at goals, preferences and what feels manageable, adjusting the focus as needs change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins where helpful. They can also allow people to use a phone call rather than video if they prefer less bandwidth or a quieter style of check-in. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits helpful when arranging sessions around work, family or health commitments.
