Lauren offers a safe environment for clients to explore their conflicts by offering a patient, non-judgemental, empathetic space to encourage emotional openness and address feelings. She believes in the existential view that we can change our circumstances.

Although most people turn to therapy due to significant turning points like loss or bereavement, betrayal , conflict or a perceived defeat, others recognise their need to begin psychotherapeutic treatment due to feeling bewildered, unable to deal with unexpected low mood or experiencing anxiety. Most notice changes in their behaviours, including more frequent arguments, increased avoidance of tasks or proximity to others, or sudden inability to control their routine and schedule. No matter how you encounter change, ego therapy offers a bespoke approach to supporting your emotional development and personal transformation.

Your relationship matters! Are you struggling with relationship, marital or family issues? Are you or your partner wanting to improve or enhance your relationship? Perhaps you’re both at a crossroads where your future as a couple seems uncertain? Maybe you’re considering separating or divorce? Are you feeling hurt, disconnected, stuck, frustrated, angry, lonely, misunderstood, overwhelmed, sad or scared? Are you struggling to communicate, manage conflicts or difficult emotions, heal from loss of trust or an infidelity , establish or maintain healthy boundaries, manage family issues or adapt to change, life events or transitions?

Troubling thoughts, feelings, emotions, & repetitive behaviors can be safely explored & understood with the help of an experienced therapist. I help people who are experiencing a broad range of issues such as low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, anger, loneliness, rejection, infidelity , dependency, stuckness, eating disorders, abusive relationships, & seeking meaning in life. I use the psychodynamic model & CBT when necessary. Apart from being a therapist, I am a Lecturer at Birkbeck Uni on the MSc in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy course.

We all experience difficulties at certain points in our lives and sometimes it can seem hard to share how we are feeling with our family and friends. Talking to a therapist offers people the opportunity to talk through issues in a non-judgmental and confidential space. I have many years of experience offering individual and collaborative therapy to adolescents, young adults and adults, helping them to understand and then work through the issues that trouble them. Therapy can be both a rewarding and liberating endeavour which can bring about the change needed to lead a more fulfilled life.

Would you like to talk to someone impartial about your relationship difficulties, find out tips on how to communicate better with your partner? Are you looking to separate or divorce after an infidelity or a stressful few years? Maybe you've grown apart or just not sure whether you want to stay together? Perhaps your sex life is suffering and you want to improve it. Do you feel frustrated because you end up having the same kind of argument over and over and you want to understand why you feel stuck?

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Whether you are exhausted with your anxiety, feeling sad or you are experiencing relationship difficulties, counselling can help you process your thoughts and emotions and provide you with the chance to be truly heard. As a therapeutic counsellor I can support you by providing you with a safe confidential, non judgemental environment where we can work together and explore your inner thoughts and feelings. As I am a firm believer of "no one approach fits all" you can decide whether you want to focus on your present or venture into your past experiences for patterns and connections.

Do you feel overwhelmed or anxious? Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns of behaviour as if nothing was ever going to change? Do you struggle with narcissistic relationships and experiences? Perhaps you feel depressed and it is hard to cope with certain feelings. Does it feel that family problems and work are overwhelmingly hard to handle? Do you feel burdened by the past and unable to move on? Are you worried about divorce or your marriage? This is when a therapist like me can help.

Since 2000, I have been helping women going through significant life changes e.g. bereavement, traumas, life-threatening disease, relationship and family issues, affairs , divorce, separation and mid-life crisis. They often experience feelings of isolation, anger, guilt, shame, insecurity, anxiety and despair. What they want from me is help them understand and be free of their pain and suffering and if possible, to lead a happy, rewarding life.

I work with Individuals and Couples who are wanting to improve their: 1. Emotional and Psychological Well-being, 2. Ability to Identify and Meet their Needs and 3. Overall Quality of Life. I offer short (6-12 sessions) & long term (12+ sessions) counselling in Sydenham (SE26) and Online.

I am Relate trained specialising in Relationship and Sex Therapy. In order to keep our relationships healthy we need to attend to them to ensure they remain respectful, trusting, sexual and happy. Because of the busyness of day to day life, we can easily disconnect from our partners without realising it leading to a lack of communication, conflict, affairs , and dissatisfaction. When married, or when children are involved, these problems become even more complex. It might even be that since the country's lockdown, you are now realising there are issues in your relationship. Now could be a good time to resolve these.

Life can be complex and challenging at times. We may feel sad, lost or overwhelmed by our relationship, work, loss of a loved one, lack of confidence or low self-worth. We may find ourselves struggling with addiction, insecurity, sleep, infidelity , shame, infertility and we lose hope that we'll ever feel differently again. It's at times like these that you may have wondered how psychotherapy can help you.

Being stuck in a pattern of relating to the self or others that is not serving us any longer is a common human experience. My approach is integrative mainly psychodynamic, meaning I work with a person's defences and resistance in a gentle but challenging way, examining early childhood experiences and relationships. I create a safe non-judgemental space for frank, open and intimate discussions about your issues and struggles.

I offer psychotherapy and counselling to individuals and couples/partnerships of all sexual orientations with a supportive and non judgemental approach. I work from an integrative perspective using a range of theories and strategies to suit the specific needs of the client and I specialise in Psychosexual and Relationship issues. I have a 25 year background in Education and Teaching.

I have been counselling individuals and couples for over 15 years in Bristol, London and online. My passion lies in working with people to improve the quality of their life experience, helping people to relate better, gain confidence to have a more prosperous life, look at blocks in their lives which may be a result of unresolved childhood issues, resolving conflict in relationships, and recovery from traumatic relationships.

I am committed to offering a safe, non-judgemental, caring and professional relationship that holds the needs of my client as central. With a willingness to journey your experience alongside you, together we can identify, better understand and actively address your difficulties. You may sense something’s not right in your life, you may feel anxious or want to explore events in your personal relationships or from your childhood. Whatever it is, we can find ways to ease your distress and heal what's hurting.
