About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem struggles, addiction and major life changes. Lauren also lists blended family issues and attachment concerns among her focus areas.
She uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. The aim is to notice strengths and use them to make practical changes, rather than to follow a rigid formula.
People who come to Lauren often bring relationship strain, parenting stress or the practical strains of merging households. She will listen to what matters most and help sort priorities. That can include talking through communication, boundaries, and day-to-day routines in a stepfamily context.
Therapy sessions include reflecting on patterns that keep problems going and trying small, manageable steps to change them. Lauren may focus on how attachment and past experiences shape current reactions. Work can cover mood, coping skills, sleeping and eating concerns, and managing urges related to alcohol or drugs.
Her style is straightforward and grounded. She guides people to set short-term goals and reviews progress as therapy continues. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the service button.
How Lauren uses client-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person's concerns and helps them find their own answers. This approach suits people struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and the everyday stresses of blending households.In sessions Lauren will invite the client to set priorities and pace the work. Together they decide which issues to focus on, whether that is communication, boundary-setting or coping skills. Finding the right approach is collaborative and may evolve as needs and goals become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the original profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week. It can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and help people keep continuity of support while juggling parenting and household routines. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt session practicalities to suit someone's schedule and preferences.
