About Lauren
Lauren Heenan is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She greets each person with a warm, non-judgemental stance and aims to make it easier to talk about hard things. Lauren highlights perinatal mental health among her interests and encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to reach out for support.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's experience in the room. This means listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and working at the client’s pace. Lauren also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas when they fit the person’s goals and situation.

In sessions she aims to help people break down daily problems into manageable steps. Practical tools may include spotting unhelpful thinking patterns or setting small behavioural goals. She also supports parents and those expecting a baby with concerns such as postpartum depression and adjustment after birth.
People who come to Lauren can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on what matters most to them. She invites prospective clients to take the first step without pressure and to arrange an initial matching process through the site.
How Lauren’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects feelings and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often involves practical activities such as identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process means techniques can be blended to suit each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions. It can reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins simpler to arrange.
