About Lauren

Lauren Gordon welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger and relationship strain. Lauren uses clear, practical conversation to help callers find small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

With seven years of experience Lauren works with issues such as self-esteem, depression, grief and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her wider focus includes identity and LGBT-related issues, attachment and adoption matters, chronic illness and caregiving stress.

Lauren uses a client-centred approach, letting people set the pace and priorities. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and on building skills and insight that fit their life. She adapts the way she talks and plans work to suit each person’s needs and goals.

People can expect straightforward, respectful feedback and practical suggestions as needed. Lauren aims to help people notice patterns, strengthen coping strategies and try small experiments between sessions. She frames therapy as a partnership where the person’s experience guides the work.

Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and work is conducted in English. Lauren describes herself as compassionate and respectful, and she encourages anyone who is ready to take a step towards change to explore whether her style feels helpful.

How client-centred work translates to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what they hear, and follows the person’s pace. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings such as anger, anxiety or grief and to decide what matters most to change.

In practice the counsellor focuses on understanding the person and building helpful ways of coping. Conversations are guided by the person’s goals, whether that means working on self-esteem, managing stress or navigating parenting pressures. Progress comes from regular check-ins and trying small changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the counsellor will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Goals, preferences and practical needs are discussed together so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the source profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break or quieter times at home. It can also help people keep continuity of care when schedules are unpredictable.
