About Lauren

Lauren Percival works with people who are stressed, anxious or facing relationship and life changes, and she uses a mix of approaches to do this. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional practice.

Lauren describes her work as integrative, drawing on person-centred ideas to keep the focus on the client’s experience. She also uses Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Brief Solution Focused methods to address specific problems such as low mood, grief or burnout.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Lauren aims to help people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour, try out different responses, and work towards clearer choices about relationships, work and self-care. She also offers support for issues with intimacy, eating and sleeping, and difficulties linked to addiction.

Her practice includes work with people experiencing life-stage concerns and young adult issues. She explains approaches in straightforward terms and invites clients to take an active role in shaping sessions.

As a BACP registrant, Lauren follows the Association’s ethical framework in her work. That includes agreed professional standards for how she relates to clients and manages the therapeutic process.

She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. People who want to start can use the site’s matching process to book an initial session and see whether her style fits their needs.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Lauren names several evidence-based techniques she draws on. Person-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s experience, which helps when someone needs time to understand feelings and values. Gestalt introduces experiments in the session to raise awareness of patterns in behaviour and relationships, useful for addressing intimacy and family-related concerns.

She also uses Transactional Analysis to map how people interact and repeat roles, which can help with relationship difficulties and communication. Brief Solution Focused methods concentrate on small, practical steps and building on what already works, often useful for stress, anxiety and short-term goals.

Choosing the most useful approach is part of the work. Lauren will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adapt methods as therapy progresses, so the plan evolves collaboratively.

The practical benefits of online counselling with her depend on the session formats offered for booking, so confirm current options before you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or study, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer to keep sessions straightforward and focused on problem-solving or reflective talking, online meetings can be arranged to match that pace.
