About Lauren
Dr. Lauren Rutter focuses on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing trauma, anger, addictions and self-esteem difficulties.
Her work covers relationship strain, grief, sleeping problems and career worries. She draws on experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar symptoms and first responder issues. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward approach.
Lauren creates a space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement.
Background and approach
She aims to help people understand their reactions and build more helpful coping strategies. Her way of working adapts to each person. Sessions are collaborative and practical.
Lauren uses tools and exercises that people can try between appointments. She draws on an array of evidence-based techniques to shape therapy for each person. Those approaches guide how she helps with emotional regulation, unhelpful thinking and building self-compassion.
The pace and focus are set together, based on what the person needs right now. Lauren is registered with the HCPC, the Health and Care Professions Council. She practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.

Online support
She also draws on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, which teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. This can be useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts are a problem.
Compassion Focused Therapy appears in her work as well, helping people build self-kindness and reduce harsh self-criticism, which can support recovery from depression and low self-esteem.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, pace and preferences. That may change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual exercises. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief updates, quick exercises or when a quieter, text-based option is easier. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work or family commitments.
