Lauren Burns

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.” – Brené Brown

Lauren Burns approaches therapy with the belief that embracing every part of one’s story is the first step toward healing. She works alongside clients to explore the difficulties they face and to cultivate a kinder, more accepting relationship with themselves.

Lauren Burns has 4 years of experience in private practice and as a volunteer counsellor in the NHS. She uses a client-centered, integrative approach that draws on person-centered, existential, and psychodynamic methods so that therapy is tailored to what works best for each client.

She specialises in supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and wider life struggles, with particular experience working with young adults.

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.” – Sophia Bush

Lauren emphasises that healing does not require perfection; it involves accepting who you are now while continuing to grow. She supports clients in identifying strengths and areas for development, and she maintains a collaborative, non-judgmental space where people can explore their feelings at their own pace.

Sessions focus on understanding root causes, breaking unhelpful patterns, and building practical coping strategies and insights. Lauren aims to help clients feel more confident managing life outside of therapy and to leave equipped to face future challenges more independently.

When a client is ready to begin, Lauren Burns is available to start the therapeutic journey with them.
