Lauren Bourne, BACP

Lauren Bourne is a person-centered and attachment-based therapist who supports adults across the United Kingdom through challenges such as anxiety, burnout, low mood, grief, difficult relationships, and a persistent sense that something isn’t right. She works with people of all genders to explore emotional patterns and relationship dynamics, offering a calm, grounded presence to help clients slow down and make sense of what they are experiencing.

She does not provide crisis support, but she offers early-intervention counselling and support sessions for those who need help before problems escalate. Lauren works with people who experience regular anxiety or depression, struggle to trust or connect with others, have faced emotional neglect or abuse, carry an intense fear of abandonment or rejection, repeat painful relationship patterns, or feel overwhelmed by emotional closeness or distance.

In therapy she focuses on 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. Her work aims to break self-sabotaging patterns and to increase self-worth, confidence, and a greater sense of inner calm so that clients can experience healthier intimacy and connection.

Lauren is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her listed qualifications include M.BACP Registered Counsellor and Dip. Level 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Psychotherapy and Attachment. People often describe her presence as calm; she works with compassion and intuition, providing a grounded space to explore what matters. She does not provide advice or try to fix clients; instead she offers room to get curious, move forward at a chosen pace, and reconnect with a kinder way of relating to oneself and others.
