Lauren Baxendale

Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem. She supports clients coping with life changes, relationship worries, and difficulties such as anger, addiction and grief. Lauren offers a calm, respectful presence and believes people hold resources to shape their own path forward.

She works in a way that keeps conversations focused on the person's experience and goals. Sessions are guided by what matters most to the individual, and Lauren aims to help people notice strengths they already have. This plain, collaborative style suits those who want practical ways to manage emotions and move through life transitions.

Lauren uses client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the person's lead while offering gentle reflection and support. This approach can be useful for worries about relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation, including anger and stress. It also provides a space to talk through trauma, grief and issues with motivation.

She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown here as BACP. Lauren encourages small, manageable steps and works at a pace that feels right for each person. She aims to help people build coping skills they can use outside sessions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and timing.

How client-centred work adapts to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the person's priorities. It means the counsellor offers empathic reflection and helps people clarify what matters to them. This approach can be useful for worries about anger, stress, relationships and self-esteem because it centres the person's experience and goals.

The collaborative nature of this work makes it straightforward to adapt to remote sessions. The therapist will explore what matters most, try different ways of checking in, and agree together on goals and steps. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be guided by what the person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. It can also help people keep momentum between appointments and practise skills in their everyday context.
