About Lauren
Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Lauren Percival has three years of professional practice. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, grief and a range of other concerns. Lauren also has a focus on young adult issues and supports people dealing with changes in work, family and personal life.
Lauren practices as an integrative psychotherapist using a mix of approaches to suit each person. She commonly draws on person-centred ways of working to prioritise the client's own experience. She also uses Gestalt ideas to look at present-moment experience, Transactional Analysis to explore patterns in relationships, and brief solution-focused techniques to build practical steps forward.
Sessions aim to be respectful and collaborative. Lauren describes the client and counsellor as equals and works within the BACP ethical framework. That means she follows professional standards for conduct and how she manages the therapeutic relationship.
Her practice has involved people from varied ages and backgrounds. Typical concerns she addresses include anxiety, low mood, stress related to work, relationship difficulties, loss, trauma and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. She also notes experience with sleeping and eating struggles, addictions, anger and bipolar related concerns.
People who choose to speak with Lauren usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Person-centred work places the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens for what matters most to the person and reflects it back to help them clarify feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties with self‑esteem.Gestalt ideas focus on what is happening in the present moment and on how people relate to others. In practice this can involve noticing bodily sensations, current reactions and patterns that repeat in relationships. It supports work on relationship issues, intimacy-related concerns and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of combining methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses based on what is most useful.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt sessions so they can suit a quieter check-in, shorter workday breaks or conversations when being on camera is difficult.
