Hi, I’m Lauren, and I’m a Person-Centred Pluralistic Counsellor. I provide counselling that is welcoming and inclusive, which helps people heal and make the changes they want to see in their lives. I have worked in counselling services for LGBTQ+ communities, carers, and people with complex mental health needs. I have particular experience working with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, but welcome all people and all issues. Whatever brings you to counselling, you are welcome here, and I will support you with warmth and without judgement.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent a decade working for mental health charities. This background means I have a thorough understanding of mental health difficulties, as well as the trauma and adverse experiences that can cause them. If you’re looking for a counsellor who can understand the challenges you’ve faced, I would love to hear from you.

I trained at the Metanoia Institute in Person-Centred Pluralistic Counselling. Being person-centred means I believe you know best what you need. I will endeavour to understand your experience so that we can stand side by side as you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and work towards any changes you’d like to make. Working pluralistically means I believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ in therapy. I will work with you to co-create a therapeutic space that feels safe and supportive, including the option to work creatively with sand tray, writing or drawing if you’d like to.
