About Lauren
Lauren Baxendale is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and parenting concerns. She works with adults facing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, coping with life changes and substance-related issues. Lauren values practical steps and clear conversation in sessions so people can start to feel steadier quickly.
She uses a client-centred style that puts the person’s experience first. That means listening without judgement and helping clients find their own solutions.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs. Over five years Lauren has supported people through grief, trauma, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. She also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy-related worries and the strain that comes with blended family dynamics.
Her practice includes attention to ADHD-related challenges and control or communication struggles. Lauren holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She draws on that framework to guide ethical, professional work and to focus on the relationship in therapy.
In meetings she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location and availability. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

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.
Client-centred care online and what it looks like
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the client find their own answers. This approach suits people dealing with low self-esteem, relationship uncertainty, parenting stress and life transitions.The emphasis is on building a respectful, collaborative relationship. The counsellor will work with the person to identify goals, try different ways of working and adjust the approach if something does not feel helpful. Choosing the right style of therapy is part of the process and will be decided together based on needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need quick, flexible contact during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
