About Lauren
Lauren Adams is a UK-based counsellor with six years' experience. She holds a BACP credential and offers sessions in the evenings and at weekends to fit busy schedules. Lauren draws on a Level 7 in Psychotherapeutic Practices to inform her work with people seeking change.
She trained in humanistic, person-centred psychotherapy and uses Gestalt techniques in session. That means she pays close attention to what is happening between person and counsellor and to emotions held in the body.
How Lauren works
Sessions often focus on feelings that feel stuck or disconnected and on bringing them into awareness. Lauren tends to work in the moment and adapts to what comes up during a conversation. She values a warm, respectful relationship where people feel understood and listened to.
This approach can help with stress, anxiety, depression and issues around self-esteem. Practical problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety and difficulties with relationships are also part of her focus. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, and concentrates on themes like guilt, shame, forgiveness and isolation.
Lauren also helps those thinking about life purpose and self-love. Therapy sessions can include talking, noticing bodily sensations, and simple experiential exercises. She aims to walk alongside each person through their journey rather than prescribe quick fixes.
The tone is collaborative, calm and down-to-earth.

How Lauren’s approaches translate to online therapy
Her work combines person-centred therapy with Gestalt techniques. Person-centred therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people feel heard. It is useful for anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns because it centres on the person’s own goals and pace. Gestalt techniques encourage noticing what is happening in the here and now, including bodily sensations and emotions. These methods help when feelings seem stuck or when past experiences continue to affect daily life. They often use simple exercises that can be adapted to an online setting. Finding the right approach is part of the process and Lauren works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She listens to each person’s needs, goals and preferences and adjusts the work over time. Together they choose whether to focus more on talking, on bodily awareness, or on short experiential tasks. Online formats offer practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, steady support over time, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into evenings and weekends and to keep continuity between sessions.Start online instead of waiting
