Lauren Bourne, BACP

Lauren Bourne is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who brings three years of clinical experience to her work. She practises from a person-centered and attachment-based perspective, supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low mood, grief, or a persistent sense that something is not quite right. Lauren offers early-intervention counselling and support sessions rather than crisis services, and she works with people who experience regular anxiety or depression, difficulty trusting or connecting with others, histories of emotional neglect or abuse, intense fears of abandonment or rejection, and repeating painful relationship patterns.

Her practice focuses on building more secure and trusting relationships, healing unresolved childhood wounds, and developing emotional regulation and resilience. Lauren helps clients gain clarity about their needs, triggers, and boundaries, reduce self-sabotaging patterns, and increase self-worth, confidence, and a greater sense of calm. She provides a grounded, compassionate presence and aims to create space for clients to slow down, be heard, and consider what comes next rather than offering advice or quick fixes.

Lauren is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and holds Dip. Level 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Psychotherapy and Attachment. She offers online therapy to adults across the UK and accepts international clients, working in English.

Attachment-informed and person-centered approaches for online therapy

Lauren uses person-centered therapy to create a calm, accepting space where clients can explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace. This approach focuses on empathy and the therapeutic relationship, and it can help with anxiety, low mood, and rebuilding self-worth.

She also draws on attachment-based work to make sense of patterns in relationships and early experiences that continue to affect trust, intimacy, and emotional reactions. Attachment-focused therapy can support people dealing with abandonment fears, difficulty connecting, and repeating relational cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lauren works collaboratively with each client and adjusts methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels practical and personally relevant.

Online therapy with Lauren is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from wherever you are, reduce travel time, and let clients choose the format that best supports steady progress with therapy.
