About Lauren
Lauren Heenan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, trauma and peri-natal mental health issues such as postpartum depression.
Lauren listens without judgement and focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps clients put words to difficult feelings and consider small steps that can feel more manageable.
Her background includes work across a range of common emotional difficulties. She draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise the person's experience, and uses cognitive behavioural tools to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep distress going.
Lauren also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated relationship patterns that can trace back to earlier life and family of origin issues. When helpful, she brings in solution-focused techniques to identify immediate, concrete goals and measure progress over time.
People often come to her with grief, intimacy-related worries, parenting strain, or feelings of guilt and shame. Lauren encourages clear, practical steps alongside reflection so people can try different responses between sessions.
To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial appointment through the platform's online options. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How Lauren uses common approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person is saying. It helps people feel heard and clarifies which issues matter most in their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to test out new ways of responding to anxiety or guilt.Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. Lauren will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods as the work proceeds. That way practical steps and deeper reflection can be balanced according to goals and preferences.
