Lauren Heenan, BACP, NCPS

Lauren Heenan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She is straightforward and calm in sessions and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things. Lauren welcomes conversations about relationships, parenting concerns and issues with self‑esteem and grief.

She uses a gentle, person-focused style that invites people to speak freely about their thoughts and feelings. Lauren draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person in front of her, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns, and solution-focused techniques to set small, practical goals.

Lauren holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and has a particular interest in peri‑natal mental health and postpartum depression. She also supports those facing relationship conflict, blended family issues, fertility concerns and the strain of caregiving.

In sessions she aims to create a non-judgemental space where difficult topics can be spoken about plainly. She helps people turn immediate problems into manageable steps and notice patterns that keep them stuck. If you want a therapist who listens and works with you to make small changes, Lauren could be a fit.

How Lauren’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel understood. Online sessions using this approach usually centre on open conversation and building trust, which can help with anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. In remote sessions CBT can involve setting simple tasks between meetings and talking through techniques for panic, depression or stress.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy. Lauren works collaboratively to decide whether person-centred conversation, CBT tasks or short solution-focused goals suit your needs. She adapts the plan as you work together so the approach fits your goals and preferences.

Session formats are not detailed in the provided biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions slot into work or childcare routines more easily. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective care remotely when the approach and practical details match what a person needs.
