About Lauren
Lauren Percival is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and life changes. She works directly with adults who are struggling with issues such as depression, grief, self-esteem, addictions and intimacy concerns. Lauren also supports people dealing with work-related stress, sleep or eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges and other everyday pressures.
Lauren has three years of clinical experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
Background and approach
She uses an integrative way of working, drawing on several approaches to suit each person's needs. Sessions aim to be respectful and empathetic, with the client and counsellor working as equals. Her integrative practice commonly includes person-centred work, Gestalt, transactional analysis and brief solution-focused techniques.
These are blended to fit the person in front of her rather than applied in a fixed order. Lauren pays attention to what is most helpful right now and adjusts the focus as progress is made. Many people find it useful to talk through relationship worries, identity and LGBT-related concerns, parenting stress and young adult issues in a pace that feels manageable.
Lauren encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversation, so people can try small changes between sessions. If someone is considering counselling, Lauren asks them to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session according to her availability.

How Lauren's approaches can work online
Lauren commonly blends person-centred, Gestalt and brief solution-focused work to address immediate problems and deeper emotional patterns. Person-centred work emphasises listening and understanding so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. Gestalt focuses on awareness in the present moment and how feelings show up in the body, which helps with relationship and intimacy issues.Brief solution-focused techniques aim to identify small, practical steps that can lead to quick improvements, useful for stress, sleep or work-related pressures. These approaches are explained in plain terms during early sessions so the person knows why a technique is being used and what to expect.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how someone responds, then adapt methods over time. People are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and helpful.
Please confirm available session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try counselling without rearranging their whole day, and the counsellor will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule.
