When we are experiencing difficulties and our usual means of coping aren’t enough, it can be difficult to know where or who to turn to. Therapy can provide a non-judgemental and expectation free space to reflect on what is going on for us, what changes we might want to make and how we might go about this.

Working with people to help them through trauma, distressing life events, adverse childhood experiences, the knock-on effects of dealing with bereavement of any sort, the impact of living with long term ill-health, disability or coming to terms with a new diagnosis, truly is my passion. These are some of the many reasons people come to see me, but I also work with young people (aged 13+) supporting them with friendship issues, self-esteem, self-harm, dealing with the effects of bullying, figuring out their gender identity and supporting them with the impact of divorce and of having a narcissistic parent in their life.

I offer a safe, confidential place to explore what brings you to counselling within an empathetic ,non-judgmental, professional relationship where you can be heard and be your true self.

You might look like you’re coping, but something isn’t sitting right. Stress, pressure, relationship problems, anger, anxiety, low mood, or a sense you’re stuck and don’t know why. Many of the people I work with aren’t in crisis — they’re functioning, but tired of carrying things alone. You may not want endless talk about feelings, but you do want clarity, direction, and a way to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and change it.

Making the decision to enter into psychotherapy can be an important step and my aim is to offer a confidential space to discuss your concerns. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to talk through what feels difficult or problematic in life. Sometimes people have an idea about the nature of their difficulties, others are less sure. Talking with a therapist can help you to discover and make sense of what is leaving you feeling either stuck, lost, anxious, unhappy or overwhelmed.

Hi, I’m Lauren – Counsellor at Thinking out Loud. I offer online and face to face counselling (in Romsey and in Shirley) that’s relaxed, real, and tailored to you. No jargon, no pressure - Just time set aside for you to talk about whatever’s on your mind. I have a particular passion for working with children and young people, and alongside my Private Practice I work as a school counsellor. Working with me often feels like chatting with someone who really gets it - more like a cuppa than a clinical session. I bring a calm, down-to-earth approach, and I’ll always adapt the way I work to suit your pace and preferences.

Are you seeking a space to unpack thoughts and feelings which feel hard to voice? Trying to find more capacity to understand and encounter yourself and others more deeply? Therapy offers a confidential space in which you can speak about your life’s journey, as well as what occupies your thoughts today. This can involve exploring the anxieties, relationships, dreams and experiences which are most significant for you. I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy: this will not give you tools or advice - instead it will help you understand the parts of yourself which may feel hidden, troubling and confusing.
