About Lauren
Lauren Stone is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Lauren focuses on helping people talk through difficult events and current struggles so they can understand what’s keeping them stuck.
She uses approaches that aim to make thinking patterns clearer and easier to manage. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviour to reduce distress and teach practical skills. Client-Centred Therapy invites people to explore their beliefs and feelings from their own point of view rather than being directed by the counsellor.
Lauren also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider how past events and repeated patterns affect present relationships and feelings. These conversations can include noticing when feelings are being redirected in the room so they can be understood and addressed. Mindfulness-based techniques are drawn on to help with stress regulation and present-moment awareness.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on helping people notice the roots of their difficulties. Lauren aims to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, feelings and actions, and then practice small changes between sessions. She emphasises collaboration and respects the client as the expert on their own life.

How Lauren blends therapy approaches for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people become clearer about their beliefs and feelings by working from the client's viewpoint rather than directing the conversation. This approach supports exploration of low self-esteem, relationship concerns and emotional confusion.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical strategies and exercises to reduce anxiety and manage mood. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety and coping with change because it gives skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as new issues or priorities emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they can allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. If practical considerations matter - for example quieter surroundings, less bandwidth, or not needing to be on camera - discuss these when arranging sessions so the format supports day-to-day life.
