Lauren Gordon, BACP

Lauren Gordon is a counsellor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She works with people dealing with stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and LGBT-related concerns. Lauren explains things plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone unsure about therapy.

Lauren uses a client-centred approach, which means conversations focus on the person rather than a rigid checklist. She listens, reflects back what she hears, and adapts sessions to match each person’s needs and goals. This approach is often used for building confidence, talking through big life changes, and making sense of difficult feelings.

She has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lauren draws on that practical experience when helping people weigh options and try small changes between sessions. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Clients often bring a mix of issues such as trauma, parenting strain, caregiving stress, eating or body-image concerns, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. Lauren will talk through what matters most to the client and shape a plan around those priorities. She emphasises collaboration and realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

To start working together, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose times that fit their schedules. Lauren supports people who want steadier momentum or brief, focused work depending on what they need.

How client-centred care translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what they hear, and follows the client’s pace and priorities. This works well for people who want to build self-understanding, increase confidence, or manage anxiety and stress.

Lauren uses this collaborative approach to help people decide what to focus on together. She will check in about goals, try different ways of working, and adjust plans if something is not helpful. Finding the right fit is part of the process and will be agreed between the client and therapist.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work and caring commitments, cut travel time, and make it easier to attend regular appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how sessions can suit a person’s everyday routine.
