About Lauren
Lauren Percival is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and parenting strain. She meets people where they are and listens with respect and empathy. Her manner is straightforward and collaborative, helping clients take practical steps when they feel ready to change.
She trained as an integrative psychotherapist and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she follows the BACP ethical framework in her practice. Lauren draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than using one fixed method.
In three years of practice she has supported people through depression, grief, work-related stress and issues around intimacy and identity. She also works with challenges such as sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, anger and career decisions. Young adult issues are an additional focus.
Her integrative approach commonly uses person-centred listening alongside Gestalt, transactional analysis and brief solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to build understanding, spot small changes and practise useful ways of coping between meetings.
Lauren describes therapy as a collaborative process. She treats people as equals and seeks to empower them to make changes that fit their life. If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers steady, practical support through the process.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Integrative therapy combines different methods so sessions can be tailored to what helps a person most. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and can find their own solutions. Gestalt brings attention to present-moment experience and patterns in how someone relates, which can be useful for emotional awareness and resolving stuck ways of behaving.Transactional analysis looks at how people communicate and the roles they take, helping spot unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-talk. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical changes and setting clear, achievable steps between sessions to build momentum.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on a person's goals, needs and preferences, making adjustments as the therapy progresses.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the original profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can suit different practical needs, and the therapist will talk through what works best for everyday life and commitments.
