Lauren Bourne, BACP

Lauren Bourne is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. Lauren offers a calm, attentive approach for adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in difficult relationship patterns.

She works in a person-centred way alongside attachment-based ideas. Sessions are offered online and focus on slowing down, being heard, and noticing what matters most to the client. Lauren does not provide crisis support but offers early-intervention counselling and support sessions.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, and trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, and patterns such as fear of abandonment or repeated hurtful dynamics. Work in sessions often centres on recognising triggers, setting boundaries, and understanding how past experiences shape current reactions.

Lauren describes her role as holding a steady, compassionate space rather than giving advice or trying to fix people. Therapy aims to build greater emotional regulation, resilience, and clearer sense of needs. Over time clients may find more ease in relationships and a stronger sense of self-worth.

Her training includes diplomas in psychotherapy and attachment at Levels 2 to 5, which inform how she approaches relational and developmental wounds. Sessions move at the clients pace, with an emphasis on curiosity and practical steps that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Lauren works from a person-centred perspective which focuses on listening closely and following what the client brings. This approach aims to help people feel heard, understood and able to explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships influence current patterns. Attachment-informed work can be useful for people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or repeating painful relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each persons needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single technique.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family schedules and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to access a therapist who works across the UK or internationally.
