Lauren Roberts

I currently have availability at select times on a Monday and Tuesday afternoon, and on Friday I can offer late afternoon and evening slots. I am opening up some more availability from late September. I can still offer a little flexibility so if none of these hours work for you drop me a message and we'll see what we can do.

Hello, I’m Lauren.

As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor I draw upon theories from the main schools of thought and tailor my approach to the unique individual that you are. I don’t apply a particular method to you but rather meet you where you are, and we go from there. Just as there is no one set way of being I believe there is no one set way of working therapeutically, so our therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to go through any queries you may have about what brings you to counselling, and to see how you feel about the prospect of working with me.

I take a fundamentally trauma-informed approach, considering any challenges and issues that may arise in every aspect of human experience and self-image.  We can explore whatever you bring, such as but not limited to trauma, abuse (of all kinds), identity issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders & loss.

I am passionate about the theories that I draw upon, as an integrative therapist I have studied the three main schools (humanistic-existential, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural) and more; such as Gestalt, theories which work with nervous system dynamics, and somatically with the body. I am also interested in working creatively.

I offer long-term exploratory work, depth work and more short–term focused counselling that can look at specific issues depending what your wants and goals are, and what is best for you. This is of course flexible and can be evaluated as we review our work periodically.
