Lauren Bourne, BACP

Lauren Bourne is a person-centered, attachment-based counsellor who works with adults across the United Kingdom. She supports people of all genders who are managing anxiety, burnout, low mood, grief, difficult relationships, or a persistent sense that something is not right. She offers early-intervention counselling and support sessions rather than crisis services, and she aims to create a calm, grounded space where clients can slow down and be heard.

Lauren works with people who experience regular anxiety or depression, struggle to trust or connect with others, have a history of emotional neglect or abuse, live with an intense fear of abandonment or rejection, repeat painful relationship patterns, or feel overwhelmed by emotional closeness or distance. Her approach emphasizes helping clients build more secure and trusting relationships, heal unresolved childhood wounds, develop emotional regulation and resilience, and gain clarity about needs, triggers, and boundaries. She also supports clients in breaking self-sabotaging patterns and increasing self-worth, confidence, and inner calm to enable healthier intimacy and connection.

She provides therapy online, offering sessions where clients can explore what’s next at a pace that feels right for them. People often say she brings a sense of calm into the room; she works with compassion and intuition and aims to hold a grounded space for exploration. Lauren does not position herself as someone who gives advice or fixes people. Instead, she offers room to slow down, get curious, and move forward gently and at the client’s pace.

Professionally, Lauren is an M.BACP Registered Counsellor, which indicates registration with the British Association of Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP). She also holds diplomas at levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Psychotherapy and Attachment, reflecting focused training in those areas.
