Lauren Percival

Lauren Percival is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. She works with adults facing issues like depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction and difficulties with self-esteem. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make small, workable changes that fit their daily lives.

With three years of professional practice, Lauren brings experience supporting people from a range of backgrounds. She describes her style as integrative, drawing on different ways of working to suit each person. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and finding realistic steps forward.

Lauren is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly shown as BACP, and follows their ethical framework. She frames the work around respect and empathy, treating clients as equals and encouraging their active role in the process.

Her integrative methods include person-centred work, Gestalt, transactional analysis and brief solution-focused techniques. These are blended depending on the issue and the client’s preferences, rather than applied in a fixed sequence.

Young adult issues are listed as an additional focus, so Lauren is familiar with concerns common in that life stage. She invites people who are ready to start making changes to take the first step and explore what support might look like for them.

To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online support

Lauren uses an integrative way of working that mixes several evidence-based techniques. Person-centred work emphasises listening and understanding the client's own goals, helping people feel heard and more able to make choices. Gestalt methods focus on present-moment awareness and noticing patterns in feelings and behaviour, which can help with anger and relationship issues. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small practical steps and what is already working, making them useful for stress, anxiety and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues evolve and progress is reviewed together.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily around work, study and family life. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Some formats are also better for shorter check-ins or when less bandwidth is available, while others suit longer conversational work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will discuss practical options with each person and agree what works best.
