Lauren Tofts

Online sessions only.

Availability includes Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Wednesday afternoon/evenings.

Welcome, my name is Lauren, and I am a person-centred counsellor who trusts in the power of a genuine, trustworthy and empathic relationship to create meaningful change. I offer a warm, approachable and non-judgemental space for you to explore what has brought you to therapy. I aim to meet you wherever you are in your life; you set the pace and tone, and I will work collaboratively with you on what feels important or meaningful. 

I hold a Level 6 Diploma in Person-Centred Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Metanoia Institute in London. As a counsellor, I have experience working within a charity organisation for young people and an NHS service specialising in perinatal mental health.

Alongside my counselling practice, I currently work as an assistant psychologist in an NHS eating disorder service, providing guided self-help therapy to those who struggle with Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa.

In my practice, there is no pressure or expectation to have everything figured out. Life can feel messy or confusing, and I will be alongside you to help make sense of experiences that feel overwhelming or difficult. 

My approach is non-directive and respectful of your autonomy and individuality. I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where you will be met with care and curiosity, with a deep understanding of what you bring to each session.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone call to give us an opportunity to get to know each other, explore what has brought you to seek therapy, to ask any questions you may have and determine whether you feel I am the right fit for you. 

I provide 1 hour sessions and they can be offered on a short-term or long-term basis, depending on what you need.
