About Lauren
Lauren Gordon offers approachable, practical support for people under stress or feeling overwhelmed. She helps with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and motivation. Lauren works with those facing relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, and LBGT-related concerns.
She also supports people dealing with eating issues, anger, ADHD and life transitions. Lauren uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions.
How Lauren works
Conversations are tailored to what matters to each person rather than following a fixed script. Over seven years of practice have included helping people manage compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and chronic illness challenges. She also offers support around adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns and blended family issues.
Practical topics such as communication problems, boundaries and commitment worries are part of her work. Lauren is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practices in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
Her approach aims to create a respectful, empathetic space where people can talk through what is hard and try different ways of coping. People who choose Lauren often want a straightforward, kind counsellor who listens and helps them make practical changes. To begin, clients are invited to describe their priorities and together set simple goals for therapy.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topics of conversation. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the person name feelings and priorities. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationship worries and many life transitions.The collaborative nature of this work means the therapist and client decide together what will help most. If a different way of working seems better, they discuss it and adapt the sessions. The aim is to find an approach that fits the person's goals, values and everyday life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or need brief, frequent support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while keeping the focus on real progress.
