About Lauren

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. Lauren Baxendale helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. She works from a client-centred approach and focuses on practical support for everyday problems.

Lauren sees each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are built around the client’s priorities and strengths. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing, and on small steps that can make a difference day to day.

She also supports people with addiction-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or parenting strain. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, blended family tensions, body image and communication problems. Work with Lauren may address grief, trauma and anger, as well as feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Her client-centred method means sessions follow the client’s lead while the counsellor reflects, asks questions and helps clarify options. That style aims to increase self-understanding and practical coping skills rather than prescribe one fixed solution.

Lauren uses her five years of practice to combine straightforward conversation with focused goal-setting. People who prefer a collaborative, conversational approach often find this format useful when sorting through relationship or mood-related concerns.

How her client-centred approach works for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the counsellor. The counsellor listens closely, mirrors what is said and asks questions to help people clarify their thoughts and feelings. It is useful for mood concerns, relationship difficulties and when someone wants to build confidence in making life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will work together with each person to choose what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can involve checking how a method is working and adjusting it as needed.

Confirm the session formats with Lauren before booking because the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with her about practicalities such as session length and timing so the arrangement fits everyday life.
