Lauren White

I offer sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays, 8am to 2pm. Please contact me to find out current availability.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, who is UKCP certified, Guild of Psychotherapists accredited, and BACP senior accredited, with over 30 years, post-qualifying experience, within the NHS, private practice, the corporate sector, and a variety of psychotherapy and counselling services. I am also a UKCP and UPCA registered clinical supervisor.

I have a DBS Enhanced Certificate, which is updated annually, and apart from the Guild of Psychotherapists, the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association, the UKCP, and the BACP, I am also a member of the Neuropsychoanalysis Association.

I offer counselling, and psychotherapy, to individuals, aged 18+, on an open-ended basis, or for an agreed number of sessions, in Lincoln.

My clients come into counselling or psychotherapy for a variety of reasons, including: depression; emotional problems; relationship difficulties and breakdown; family problems and conflicts; abuse or neglect during childhood; anxiety and/or stress; loss and bereavement; work-related problems; child sexual abuse; Post Traumatic Stress; eating disorders; self esteem; and personality problems.

Not everyone knows what is bothering them, however. It is possible to feel confused and unhappy without being clear why. You might be struggling to make sense of an experience, or who you feel you are, for example, or perhaps you feel your life lacks meaning.

I have a set fee of £50 for the initial appointment (which lasts up to 75 minutes) and a sliding scale of fees (£50-£70) for ongoing sessions. My clients choose their own fee from within that scale.

The initial appointment will enable you to meet me, ask any questions you have, and decide whether I am someone you feel comfortable working with. It also gives me the opportunity to explore with you the issues that have led you to make this appointment, and to take a brief personal history from you, about your experiences and relationships, including your very earliest ones, so that together we can see whether psychotherapy, or counselling, might be useful to you.

There is no pressure to make up your mind to continue, then and there. I will always suggest that you go away, and think about it, before deciding to enter psychotherapy, or counselling, with me.
