About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She works with individuals struggling with confidence, motivation and self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with relationship worries, grief, trauma, addiction and a range of mood-related concerns including depression.
She takes a client-centred approach, listening first and asking questions that help people name what matters to them. Lauren treats each person as the expert on their own story and explores strengths they can use to move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the person who is attending. With five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Lauren has worked with a broad range of issues such as parenting strain, work stress, body image concerns and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her practice also covers practical problems like sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and career decisions.
She values straightforward goals and small steps that build confidence over time. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and on realistic ways to get there. Lauren aims to make the process manageable for people who may be anxious about starting therapy.
People who choose to work with her can expect calm, attentive listening and collaborative planning. She uses client-centred methods to help people reflect, set short-term goals and practise new ways of coping between sessions. Sessions are offered in English to people based in the United Kingdom.

Approaches Lauren lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Lauren will work with a person to decide what methods feel most useful, and she will adjust the pace and focus based on the person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together rather than imposed by the counsellor.
Online sessions can be a flexible way to get support without travelling. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections and people who find writing easier than speaking. These formats help fit therapy around work, parenting and busy lives.
