She is well known in her field, with a strong referral network built on trust, genuine outcomes, and a therapeutic style that is both clinically rigorous and deeply human.

Lauren’s approach is trauma-informed at its core. 

She creates a safe, empathetic environment where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace, without pressure, and with the confidence that they are being truly heard.

She draws on a range of evidence-based modalities, adapting her approach to suit each individual's needs, history, and goals. 

Central to her practice is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a powerful, well-researched therapy that enables the brain to process and integrate traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and lasting impact.

Lauren's approach is holistic, considering the connection between mind, body, and lived experience. She incorporates elements of mindfulness, somatic awareness, and positive psychology alongside structured trauma-focused therapies; always with realistic, collaborative goals at the centre of the work.
