Person-centred counsellor using Gestalt methods
About Lauren
Lauren Adams is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She holds a Level 7 in Psychotherapeutic Practices and is a member of the BACP. She offers appointments in the evenings and at weekends to suit busy lives.
Lauren trained in humanistic, person-centred therapy and uses Gestalt techniques in sessions. She pays attention to emotions that live in the body and to feelings that have become stuck or disconnected.
Background and approach
Her style is responsive and present-focused, working with what is happening in the room in that moment. Clients can expect a calm, down-to-earth approach. Lauren aims to build a strong working relationship so people feel understood and supported while they talk through problems.
She describes her role as walking beside people on their journey rather than directing it. Common concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She also focuses on control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, forgiveness, social anxiety and finding life purpose.
Sessions may suit people who prefer practical, emotionally aware conversation and a therapist who responds to the moment. Appointments are available by arrangement in the evenings and at weekends to accommodate different schedules.

Practical approaches and online therapy options
Lauren works from a humanistic, person-centred perspective and uses Gestalt techniques. Person-centred work focuses on building a warm, respectful relationship and helping people explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Gestalt techniques pay attention to sensations in the body and to emotions that feel stuck, helping people notice and work with present-moment experience.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods so the work fits the individual. This happens collaboratively, with attention to what helps the person feel heard and able to make changes.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between appointments. These options add flexibility and make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family and other commitments.
