Lauren Stone, BACP

Lauren Stone is a counsellor who creates a warm, compassionate space for adults to talk about difficult feelings. She is registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and draws on ten years of experience responding to stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and grief.

She uses a mix of approaches to help people change unhelpful thinking and everyday habits that get in the way of daily life. In sessions she helps clients notice thinking patterns, learn practical skills and consider where beliefs first began. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, focused on small steps that can make a difference day to day.

Lauren also works with deeper patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. She gently looks at how past events shape current reactions and offers a chance to understand those links. This can be useful when people feel stuck or notice the same problems returning.

Her practice pays attention to emotional safety and to each person’s pace. Lauren aims to help people build clearer self-awareness and stronger coping tools, including breath-aware and mindful practices drawn from mindfulness therapy. She frames the client as the expert on their own life and supports practical change.

Sessions are offered in English and take place within the United Kingdom. Lauren’s work suits people who want to talk through difficult events, shift daily habits of thought, and find steadier ways of coping with life changes.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lauren uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the conversation stays focused on the person’s experience, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change everyday habits that maintain anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that suit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online options can help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins or offer sessions when travel would be difficult. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to choose the format that best fits day-to-day life and practical constraints.
