About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people address stress, anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with sleep.

Lauren has five years of professional experience in mental health work. During that time she has supported people with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to addictions and eating. She also works with career stress, parenting strains and challenges related to attention and focus.
People who come to Lauren often want straightforward help with communication problems, body image, or feelings of isolation and emptiness. She helps clients look at patterns, practise new ways of relating, and set realistic goals for change. Sessions aim to be clear and focused while staying warm and accepting.
To begin, Lauren asks people to reflect on what they hope to change and what feels most important right now. She encourages small steps and regular review so progress can be noticed and adjusted as needed.
How client-centred work translates to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people clarify what matters to them. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what a person says, asks open questions and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach suits concerns like stress, relationship issues, low mood and sleep problems where exploring personal experience and choices helps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauren will collaborate with each person to decide whether the client-centred way feels helpful and will adapt sessions to meet goals and preferences. The process is a conversation about what is useful, with adjustments made as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to attend from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when time is limited, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer flexible arrangements to help therapy fit everyday life.
