About Lauren

Lauren Gordon is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Her listed areas also include parenting, self-esteem, LGBT concerns and blended family issues.

She uses a client-centred style that focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. Sessions aim to give space to talk through current struggles and to make practical changes that feel manageable. Conversations can cover coping with life changes, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and communication.

Lauren describes working with people dealing with codependency, commitment worries, and attachment concerns. She also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and eating or body image difficulties. She is experienced with matters connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment and autism-related concerns.

The approach is straightforward and conversational. Lauren attends to what feels most pressing and adapts the pace to each person. She frames sessions around clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.

People looking to start are asked to use the site's matching process to see available online therapy options and to book a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people clarify feelings about relationships, parenting and life changes and supports practical steps to cope with anxiety or stress.

The therapist will work with the client to decide what methods fit best. That conversation is part of the early sessions. Together they set goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and manageable.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break and avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can use these possibilities to make sessions more practical for daily life.
