About Lauren
BACP. 4 years' experience. Lauren Burns works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships and depression, and helps with life changes, grief, addiction and parenting concerns. She describes her approach as client-centred and integrative, drawing on attachment, existential and psychodynamic ideas to guide conversations and practical steps.
Lauren keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She focuses on listening to a person's story and helping them make sense of patterns that cause distress. She uses cognitive-behavioural ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking to identify behaviours and beliefs to try out in daily life.
Her work often looks at relationship patterns and attachment issues. She helps people address communication problems, codependency, commitment worries and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem and career-related stress.
Lauren can work with people who have experienced trauma, abuse, domestic violence, dissociation or family of origin difficulties. She also notes experience with drug and alcohol addiction and compassion fatigue from caring roles.
Sessions are described as collaborative - she helps people set goals and practice coping strategies between meetings. Lauren highlights short-term practical work when useful, alongside deeper reflection when people want it.
She offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book their first session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people repeat the same difficulties in friendships or intimate relationships and want clearer ways of relating. Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and helping the person decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to try between sessions for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to use based on the issues, goals and what feels helpful. This is presented as a collaborative decision rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote counselling can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer reflective conversation, practical exercises and planning that fit into everyday life.
