About Lauren
Lauren Stone offers a calm and compassionate approach to therapy. She is a counsellor registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and brings ten years of experience supporting adults who are facing a range of difficulties. Her style is warm and straightforward, focusing on what people find most pressing in their lives.
Lauren often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and learn practical skills to manage symptoms. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen deeply and reflect the person’s view of their situation. Psychodynamic ideas are part of her work too, helping people see repeated patterns that come from past experiences.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, grief and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, chronic illness and caregiver strain, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Sessions aim to help people make sense of difficult events and learn ways to move forward. Lauren emphasises collaboration and respects that each person knows their own story best. Practical, gentle exploration is used to build new coping options and greater self-understanding.
To begin, a short matching process is used to pair people with suitable support and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service runs on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back a person's thoughts and feelings. Online sessions using this approach give space to talk through current concerns and increase self-understanding in a calm, accepting way.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. In online work CBT often includes short exercises, thought records and behavioural tasks that can be practised between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools, then adding deeper psychodynamic discussion or continued client-centred listening as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and let people join from different locations. It also allows flexible session lengths and check-ins that can work around work, caregiving or health commitments.
