Lauren Bourne, BACP

Lauren Bourne is a person-centered and attachment-based counsellor and psychotherapist who supports adults across the United Kingdom. With three years of clinical experience, she works with people of all genders who are facing anxiety, burnout, low mood, grief, difficult relationships, or a persistent sense that something is not right.

She does not provide crisis support but offers early-intervention counselling and support sessions. Lauren works with individuals who experience regular anxiety or depression, struggle to trust or connect with others, have a history of emotional neglect or abuse, carry an intense fear of abandonment or rejection, repeat painful relationship patterns, or feel overwhelmed by emotional closeness or distance.

Therapy with Lauren aims to help clients build more secure and trusting relationships, address unresolved childhood wounds, develop emotional regulation and resilience, and gain clarity about needs, triggers, and boundaries. Her work also focuses on breaking self-sabotaging patterns, increasing self-worth and confidence, and fostering greater inner calm and healthier intimacy.

She offers online therapy sessions that create a space to slow down, be heard, and consider what comes next. Lauren is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, an M.BACP registered counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has diploma training in psychotherapy and attachment at levels 2 through 5. People often say she brings a sense of calm into the room. She practices with compassion and intuition, holding a grounded space for clients to explore at their own pace. Lauren does not set out to give advice or "fix" people; instead she offers room to get curious and move forward gently. This practice is a good fit for those seeking more ease in daily life, relief from persistent anxiety or low mood, companionship through difficult times, reconnection with the self, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic presence.

Attachment-Informed Person-Centered Care Online

Lauren Bourne draws on person-centered and attachment-based approaches alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients online. The person-centered approach focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients are listened to and guided to explore their feelings and priorities - it is helpful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, and rediscovering a sense of direction. The attachment-based approach examines patterns of relating formed in early life and how these patterns affect current relationships; it can be particularly useful for addressing abandonment fears, trust issues, repeating relationship cycles, and family or blended-family difficulties. Mentioning evidence-based therapeutic techniques signals that sessions may also include structured strategies to build emotional regulation and resilience when appropriate.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren works collaboratively with each client and licensed professionals tailor the focus to fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from a distance, and fit therapy into busy lives while working with a trained therapist.
