About Lauren
Lauren Percival is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem and anger among other concerns. She also offers support for young adult issues and people facing life transitions.
Lauren works in an integrative way, drawing on several practical models rather than a single method. She uses person-centred ideas to listen and reflect what matters to the client. She also brings in elements of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis to help people notice patterns in interactions and feelings.
Brief solution-focused techniques are used in sessions to identify small, workable changes. This can be useful when clients need quicker, practical ways to manage frustration or recurring anger. Lauren aims to be direct and respectful while helping people try different strategies.
In sessions she treats people as equals and follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That framework shapes how she and clients agree what to work on and how they will work together.
If someone decides to start, Lauren asks them to set out the issues they want to address and the goals they hope to reach. She then uses a mix of approaches to suit the person's situation and preferences. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than lengthy theory.
How her approaches work online
Lauren uses an integrative mix of approaches that translate well to remote work. Person-centred practice means she listens closely and reflects what the client says, helping people clarify feelings and goals in straightforward conversation. Gestalt techniques help clients notice patterns in their experience and present-moment reactions, which can be practised during a session and reviewed afterwards. Brief solution-focused work concentrates on small, concrete steps to change a situation and is useful when someone wants practical ways to manage anger or stress.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss different ways of working and agree which approaches suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape each session and any follow-up tasks.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering appointments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Phone or video may suit different situations - phone calls need less bandwidth and can be shorter, while video allows face-to-face interaction for exercises and noticing non-verbal cues. Discuss practical arrangements with her when you book so sessions fit into everyday life.
