How Lauryn’s approaches translate to online work
Lauryn uses a person-centred way of working that emphasises empathy and following the client’s pace. This approach suits people who need a steady, listening presence as they talk through difficult decisions or feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) forms part of her toolkit and focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviours to improve day-to-day functioning. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is also part of her practice and helps people identify their values and take small actions that match those values.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that seem likely to help. Over a few sessions they will review what works and adjust the plan together so it fits the client’s life and aims.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use sessions for focused skill practice between face-to-face meetings when that suits them.
