Lauren Baxendale , BACP

Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and big life changes. She supports people dealing with self-esteem and motivation, relationship worries, addictions, grief and issues around intimacy. Lauren offers a calm, non-judgemental space for those feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward.

She works in a client-centred way, which means conversations focus on each person's story and goals. Lauren treats the person as the expert on their life and helps them build on their strengths. Sessions aim to make practical sense of difficult feelings and find manageable next steps.

With five years of professional experience, Lauren draws on day-to-day practice rather than labels or quick fixes. She listens for patterns in relationships, communication and coping that often cause repeated stress. Then she and the client try out small changes to improve mood, sleep, eating or routines.

Common topics Lauren addresses include career transitions, midlife crisis, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to attention and concentration. She also supports people with trauma, addiction and family tensions by helping them name what matters and prioritise what to work on first.

Lauren practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Lauren's Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person clarify their goals. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and questions about life purpose because it focuses on what matters to the individual.

Working this way online means the emphasis stays on your story and what you want to change. The therapist will check in about what is and isn't working, and they will adjust the pace and focus together with the client. Finding the right approach is collaborative and may shift over time as needs and goals evolve.

The original profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can also use remote meetings to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
