Lauren Adams, BACP

Lauren Adams is a UK-based psychotherapist who offers appointments in the evenings and at weekends to accommodate diverse schedules. She holds a Level 7 qualification in Psychotherapeutic Practices, a postgraduate level of training that reflects advanced clinical study, and she is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

With six years of practical experience, Lauren works with clients aged 16 and over, supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her background in the creative arts informs a flexible and responsive style in the therapy room, allowing her to adapt to what is happening in the moment and to tune into each client’s unique needs.

Lauren practices from a humanistic, person-centred perspective and uses Gestalt techniques to help clients notice and work with emotions held in the body or emotions that have become stuck or disconnected. She prioritises building a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and understood, and she aims to walk alongside them as they explore change and healing.

Person-centred and Gestalt approaches for online therapy

Lauren works from a person-centred, humanistic framework that focuses on the client’s own capacity for growth and self-understanding. This approach emphasises empathy, active listening, and respect for each client’s pace, making it well suited to issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life purpose.

She also uses Gestalt techniques that bring attention to present-moment experience and to emotions that are felt in the body. These methods can help clients notice patterns, process stuck or disconnected feelings, and work through trauma-related or anxiety-driven responses in a grounded way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. Lauren will explore clients’ goals, preferences, and needs and adapt strategies so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a predefined model.

Online therapy with Lauren is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions without travel, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
