About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with motivation difficulties and confidence concerns.
Lauren approaches sessions from a client-centred perspective. She listens to each person’s story and treats them as the expert on their own life. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on practical next steps they can try between meetings.
In session she uses straight talk and steady listening. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most difficult, identify strengths already present, and set small, manageable goals. Work may include looking at unhelpful thoughts, practising different ways of speaking up, or trying short behavioural steps to build confidence.
Lauren has worked in a variety of settings over five years, helping people with anxiety, relationship strain, grief and issues around work and career. She draws on that range of experience when deciding how best to support someone in the room.
People who choose to work with Lauren typically start by completing a short questionnaire and arranging an initial meeting. That first appointment is used to agree practical goals and decide together how sessions will proceed. Fees vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Lauren uses a client-centred approach, which means she focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. This approach helps when someone wants to talk through anxiety, relationship worries or life changes because it prioritises the person’s own views and goals.The aim in sessions is to identify small, practical steps and to notice strengths the person already has. Online sessions can include talking through difficult situations, practising how to speak up, and planning short behavioural tasks to try between meetings. These are concrete tasks that suit worries like social anxiety or low confidence.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Lauren will work with the client to decide which methods feel most helpful, based on their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about pace and focus are taken together, not imposed by the therapist.
