Lauren Adams, BACP

Lauren Adams is a United Kingdom based psychotherapist who brings a creative and responsive approach to working with people aged 16 and over. She holds a Level 7 in Psychotherapeutic Practices, an advanced postgraduate-level qualification, and the BACP credential, and she has six years of clinical experience supporting clients through a range of emotional challenges. She is available for appointments in the evenings and at weekends, offering flexibility for people with busy lives.

Drawing on a humanistic, person-centred framework, Lauren focuses on the individual's experience and creates space for self-exploration and personal growth. She also uses Gestalt techniques, attending to emotions as they arise in the body and helping clients notice feelings that have become stuck or disconnected. Her creative background informs a flexible style - thinking quickly in the therapy room and responding to what is present in the moment.

Lauren prioritises the therapeutic relationship, emphasising the importance of feeling understood and supported by a therapist. Whether someone is new to therapy or has worked with therapists before, she aims to walk alongside clients with empathy and steadiness, helping them explore issues such as anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma-related reactions, and questions about self-worth and purpose.

Person-Centred and Gestalt Approaches in Online Therapy

Lauren Adams uses person-centred, humanistic practice to help clients explore their own experience with warmth and non-judgement. This approach focuses on listening deeply, supporting autonomy, and building self-understanding, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns.

She also integrates Gestalt techniques that draw attention to sensations, emotions, and patterns that appear in the present moment. By working with feelings that have become stuck or disconnected in the body, Gestalt work can support people dealing with trauma responses, anxiety, panic experiences, and difficulties processing intense emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lauren will work with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting her style as the relationship develops.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it allows people to access sessions from home, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and continue care during life transitions. For many clients, these options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and engage consistently with the therapeutic work.
