Hi there - thank you for stopping by. My name is Lauren and I am a BACP registered and qualified Integrative Therapist.

Integrative therapy is a combined approach to psychotherapy that brings together different elements of specific therapies. I like to draw on several different elements in order to tailor sessions to you, the individual client. My approach takes into account your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional needs and we will work with all of these elements to help set and achieve your goals. 

I like to work with attachment styles - I believe that our earliest relationships can affect how we relate to those around us as adults and as such this can be useful exploration in therapy, in order to change these patterns. 

I also enjoy working creatively to explore different feelings if its useful for my clients. I have adapted this way of working so that this is still possible via video counselling. 

I also use practical tools such as individual guided meditations and relaxation exercises to help calm any anxieties if needed during our sessions.

I am more than happy to discuss my ways of working in more detail on the phone or via email ahead of any sessions.

All sessions are 50 minutes long. Our first session would be a chat about what has brought you to therapy and how we might work together in the future to achieve your goals - we can then discuss moving forward together if you feel that we are a good fit.
