How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and supports people to find the changes that matter to them. This approach suits issues such as low mood, anxiety, self-esteem and challenges around eating and body image because it focuses on building understanding and self-directed change.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. Lauren will work collaboratively to understand goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose ways of working that match the person’s pace and priorities. The aim is to try things and adapt them if needed rather than follow a fixed plan.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as arranging shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also help when someone prefers not to use video for certain sessions, or needs lower bandwidth options to participate. Registered or accredited professionals can normally guide clients on which format will best support their goals and daily routine.
