About Lauren
Lauren Percival is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, sleep troubles and relationship concerns. She works with adults feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, low mood or big life changes. Her tone is calm and straightforward, and she aims to make sessions feel respectful and practical.

Lauren practises in an integrative way. That means she brings together several approaches to suit the person she is working with. Her common ways of working include person-centred listening, Gestalt ideas about the present moment, transactional analysis to look at patterns, and brief solution-focused techniques to set small goals.
In a session she listens to what feels most pressing, offers straightforward tools, and checks in about progress. Conversations can cover coping strategies for sleep, managing anxiety, resolving relationship friction, and handling grief or loss. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded in daily life.
People interested in working with Lauren start by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions according to her availability. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.
How Lauren uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Lauren draws on a mix of evidence-based techniques and adapts them to the person she is working with. Person-centred work focuses on active listening and creating space for someone to tell their story, which can help when anxiety or low mood feels overwhelming. Gestalt approaches emphasize awareness of the present moment and how current feelings show up in the body, useful for managing emotional reactions and sleep disruption. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and practical strategies to shift patterns and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lauren works collaboratively to figure out what fits each person’s needs and goals. Together they review what helps, try different strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements can be made that suit your routine.
