If you’ve found your way here, chances are something isn’t quite working, even if you can’t fully explain what, or why.

Maybe you’re managing more than feels sustainable. Maybe you’ve been high-functioning for so long that the cracks only show in private. Maybe it’s less about one specific problem and more about a growing sense that you’ve lost touch with yourself, or with what actually matters.

My name is Lauren, and I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist based in Guildford. I work with adults navigating the full range of what life brings: stress, burnout, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the quieter but persistent feeling that something important is missing.

What makes my approach genuinely distinctive is the combination I bring together. My training is integrative and person-centred at its core. I follow your lead, work at your pace, and tailor everything to what you actually need, rather than fitting you into a single model. Woven into that is a transpersonal perspective: a recognition that real change often involves more than symptom relief, and that questions of meaning, identity, and purpose matter as much as the practical ones. Underpinning all of it is a body-based understanding of stress, drawing on Polyvagal Theory and nervous system science to work with what’s happening beneath conscious thought, not just what can be put into words.

Bringing the relational, the transpersonal and the body-based together means we can move fluidly, from the physiological to the deeply personal to the bigger questions of who you are and what you want your life to look like, meeting you wherever the work needs to go. In my experience, that’s where things really shift.

My placement experience spans a broad range of clinical settings, giving me exposure to the full complexity of what people bring to therapy:

The Awareness Centre (TAC), London
NHS Counselling
Psychiatric placement, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLAM)
CCPE Clinic, London

Since January 2025, I have run my own private practice, seeing clients both online and face-to-face at The Fit Partnership in Esher, Surrey.
