Lauren Whayman

Hello, my name is Lauren and I am a qualified Holistic Counsellor working with individual adults. 

As a Gestalt-trained therapist, I support people who are interested in developing self-awareness and want a better understanding of themselves and how they relate to others. This can increase self-confidence and help people make clearer choices and changes to improve their well-being. Together, I will help you to recognise patterns of behaviour that may be restricting your happiness, opening up opportunities for change and healing.

Some areas I work with people on include; anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, bereavement, relationships, families, loss and grief, abuse, anger and low confidence. I am also interested in working with people going through pre and post-natal experiences.

I take a warm, empathic and open-minded approach to my therapeutic work. I aim to build a trusting relationship through our work together whilst creating a confidential space where you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Gestalt means “whole” and I work holistically to help people become more aware of their bodies, minds, and behaviours. I believe personal growth and change happen through experiencing your thoughts and feelings and becoming aware of what is happening in the present moment. By building self-awareness, Gestalt Therapy can support people to take more responsibility for themselves, to increase self-confidence, and to help them make clearer choices and changes to improve their well-being. 

I offer Talking Therapy, however, I may also invite you to use a range of creative ways to express your thoughts and feelings. This can be through drawing, guided visualization, mindfulness, movement, and bodywork. I believe our emotional and physical selves are connected and take a particular interest in the person as a whole.

If you are currently finding things hard, whether this be a recent event or experiences from the past, you are not alone. This is where support through counselling can help. Confronting your feelings is challenging but it can also be a very rewarding journey. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss working together.

I offer a free 15-minute initial telephone consultation.

Online and telephone sessions available Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays

Online and telephone counselling available.
