Lauren Adams, BACP

Lauren Adams is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist who offers appointments in the evenings and at weekends. She brings six years of clinical experience working with clients aged 16 and over, and holds a Level 7 qualification in Psychotherapeutic Practices - a postgraduate level of training that indicates advanced study in therapeutic work. Lauren is also a member of BACP, a recognised professional counselling association, reflecting her commitment to professional standards.

Her practice draws on humanistic, person-centred principles combined with Gestalt techniques. With a background in creative work, Lauren adapts quickly in sessions and focuses on what is happening in the room in the present moment. She pays particular attention to emotions that are felt in the body or that have become stuck or disconnected, helping clients explore how bodily experience and feelings relate to their current difficulties.

Lauren prioritises a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel understood and supported. She views therapy as a collaborative journey and aims to walk alongside people as they address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and issues with self-esteem. Her approach is warm, attentive and grounded in practical, moment-to-moment work.

Person-centred and Gestalt approaches for online support

Lauren Adams integrates person-centred therapy with Gestalt techniques to support emotional healing and personal growth. Person-centred therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship and giving the client space to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace - this approach can be helpful for issues like depression, low self-esteem, and life purpose concerns. Gestalt techniques emphasise present-moment awareness and how emotions appear in the body; they help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and experiment with new ways of being, which can be useful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, and processing traumatic or stuck emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Lauren approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss options, adapt techniques to individual needs, and together with the client decide what feels most helpful based on personal goals and preferences.

Online therapy with Lauren is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care, and access support from home or another convenient location.
