Lauren Roberts, BACP

Lauren Roberts is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting a diverse range of people and presentations. She works with trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD, and also supports those dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, and issues connected to LGBTQ+ identity. Her practice includes work with neurodiversity-related challenges, difficulties around identity and self-image, relationship concerns, sexual problems, and coping with grief and loss.

As an integrative practitioner, Lauren draws on training across the three core therapeutic schools and tailors her approach to suit each client's circumstances. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where sensitive topics can be explored and where therapy is shaped collaboratively to reflect a person’s goals and preferences. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates her professional registration in the UK.

Integrative approaches for online therapy and support

Lauren uses an integrative approach, combining elements from different evidence-based techniques to fit each person's needs. This means drawing on a range of methods - for example, structured skills and coping strategies for managing stress and anxiety, alongside reflective work to explore identity, relationships, and self-image. These combined approaches can help with emotional regulation, clearer understanding of patterns, and practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.

Lauren also has specific experience working with trauma-related difficulties, including PTSD and complex PTSD. Trauma-focused work involves carefully paced exploration of past experiences and their impact, paired with strategies to reduce symptoms and build resilience. She adapts the pace and focus according to what each person finds most helpful.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lauren works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify techniques that match an individual’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers practical benefits - sessions by video call or phone provide face-to-face connection from home, while live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit consistent support into everyday life.
