About Lavanniya

Lavanniya Langa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. She also supports those coping with major life changes.

Her sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. She uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centred ways of working to keep discussions person-led and CBT techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Lavanniya pays attention to how past losses, abuse or difficult transitions affect daily life. She helps people notice patterns in relationships and communication. She can work with concerns such as intimacy, trust, abandonment, and attachment issues.

She also addresses practical areas like sleep, eating, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. Issues such as codependency, control struggles, and difficulties following adoption or foster care experiences are within her focus.

Sessions are offered in English and Tamil. Lavanniya uses a conversational style and adjusts the pace to what each person needs. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to select online options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns in relationships and practice different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a person-led conversation where the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This approach helps when someone needs time to find their own words about anxiety or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tries small changes that can make daily life easier. CBT methods are often used to target anxiety, stress and low mood with concrete exercises and homework tasks.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what you want, explain different approaches, and decide together which methods to try based on goals and preferences.

Please confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are arranged through the site process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or caring duties, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and techniques to suit telephone or video appointments where available.
