About Lauryn

Lauryn Harris is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps. She writes responses with warmth and listens carefully so clients can talk at their own pace.

Background and approach

Her practise welcomes a wide range of concerns and she aims to make early sessions feel straightforward and practical. Lauryn trained as an integrative counsellor and holds NCPS as a credential.

She has three years of experience working with issues such as addiction, relationship troubles, trauma and bereavement. She also helps with anxiety, depression, ADHD and problems with sleep or eating.

In sessions she blends approaches to match each person's needs. That might mean using person-centred conversation to build trust, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to test unhelpful thinking, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and action.

She also draws on attachment ideas when relationships and closeness are part of the problem. Her approach is straightforward and practical.

Conversations aim to identify clear next steps and small experiments clients can try between meetings. Sessions are intended to be a space for honest reflection and gentle challenge rather than technical jargon.

Lauryn works from the United Kingdom and offers online formats. She speaks English and is open to working with clients in other countries.

People wanting to try counselling are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Lauryn often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps forward. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns affect current relationships. That work aims to make it easier to understand emotional reactions and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is another tool she uses to spot and change unhelpful thinking that feeds low mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made. Clients set priorities and the therapist suggests practical exercises to try between sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions are useful for a more conversational experience, phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth or easier to fit into a work break, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different schedules and locations.
