I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Lauren. From the very first session, it was clear that she has a unique ability to create a safe, empathetic, and non- judgmental space for me to heal in. She has supported me through my most difficult times and helped me navigate my trauma with both compassion and deep understanding. In our sessions I always feel seen, heard, and valued , which has been really essential to my healing process. Her genuine care and dedication make her an outstanding therapist and I can't imagine a better guide on my journey toward emotional well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional who truly understands and prioritizes their needs. Thank you Lauren

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.” – Brené Brown
In therapy, I believe the first step toward healing is embracing your story—every part of it. This process of self-compassion and understanding is often the bravest thing we can do. I’m here to guide you as we explore the challenges you face, helping you build a stronger, more accepting relationship with yourself.
With almost five years of experience in private practice and as a volunteer counsellor in the NHS, I offer a client-centered, integrative approach to therapy. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life struggles, particularly for young adults. Using a combination of person-centered, existential, and psychodynamic methods, I ensure that the therapy is tailored to what works best for you.
“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.” – Sophia Bush
Healing doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. It means embracing who you are right now, while still growing and evolving. In our work together, I’ll support you in recognizing your strengths and areas for growth, always moving forward with compassion for yourself. You are allowed to be in process, and I’m here to support you through that journey.
I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable to explore your feelings and challenges openly. The therapy process is collaborative, and we’ll work at your pace. Sometimes it takes time to break old patterns, and I’ll support you with patience and understanding as we work together to uncover the root causes of your struggles.
In our work together, I aim to empower you with the tools, coping strategies, and insights you need to navigate life's challenges confidently. My goal is for you to feel self-sufficient outside of therapy, ready to take on life's ups and downs with a stronger sense of self.
Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here to begin the journey with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
