About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I’m Lauren, a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist.
I am trained in the person-centred approach, which means our work together is entirely client-led. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore whatever feels important to you. If you’re feeling lost or stuck, I’ll sit with you in those feelings, and together, we’ll navigate a way forward.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 12 years working in dentistry—a career that gave me a solid grounding in biology, physiology, and how the body responds to stress and disease. Over time, I developed a deep interest in how trauma can affect both the body and mind, often in unique and unexpected ways. This curiosity led me to pursue a master’s in counselling and psychotherapy, where I focused my research on how emotional trauma can manifest as physical symptoms, specifically in chronic conditions like Fibromyalgia.
That experience profoundly shaped my understanding of trauma and strengthened my desire to support others in their healing journey.
Since qualifying, I have worked with individuals to explore the challenges and traumatic experiences they bring to therapy. I have also undertaken additional training in Trauma-Informed Therapy to deepen my ability to support clients in processing their experiences with care and sensitivity.
Whether you identify your experiences as trauma or simply feel that talking to someone in a confidential, supportive space could help, I am here to listen. I believe in tailoring therapy to your needs, always working at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
