About Lauren
Lauren Bourne is a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy registration (BACP). She draws on person-centred and attachment-based ways of working to support adults feeling anxious, burnt out, low, or unsettled by relationships. Lauren offers online sessions across the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.
Her approach is calm and steady. Sessions give people time to slow down and be heard without pressure.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and helps people name what feels painful or confusing. In practice Lauren helps people understand how early experiences affect current connections. She works with issues such as abandonment fears, attachment difficulties, and repeating painful relationship cycles.
She also supports people facing family problems, separation, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of shame or isolation. Therapy with her focuses on building safer ways of relating, stronger boundaries, and greater self-worth. She also supports people in developing emotional regulation and noticing triggers that lead to self-sabotage.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Lauren has three years of clinical experience and completed Diplomas at levels 2 to 5 in Psychotherapy and Attachment. Her way of working is gentle and inquisitive rather than directive, aiming to help people find clearer choices and more ease in daily life.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That work helps when fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, or repeating relationship patterns are causing distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapt as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to see facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options help people access consistent support around work, caregiving and busy schedules.
