About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She works with issues such as relationship strain, low self-esteem, addictions, grief and coping after trauma. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at making the next steps feel manageable.
She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's own experience first. Sessions focus on listening, helping the person make sense of what they are facing, and building on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Lauren encourages practical steps people can try between sessions to see small changes add up. Lauren brings five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, sometimes shown as BACP.
That registration reflects a commitment to recognised professional standards. In sessions she will invite clear, honest conversation and pay attention to what matters most to the individual. Conversations move at the person’s pace and the therapist shapes the work around their goals.
People often begin by talking about one pressing concern and then broaden the focus as trust grows. Many people seek support for things like sleeping or eating difficulties, parenting strain, career uncertainty, or feelings of isolation. Lauren aims to make practical sense of these problems and to help people find manageable ways forward.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and she focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

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
Working online still allows for the same client-led process. The therapist and client collaborate to decide goals and ways of working. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be shaped by the person's needs, goals and preferences. The therapist will check in and adapt the style as the work progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers written conversation. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping consistent support.
