Lauren Stone, at Our Mindful Counsellor offers a warm, confident, compassionate, safe space to discuss your concerns and difficulties. I'm an Integrative counsellor and registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work to deliver effective interventions to adults who are experiencing a range of difficulties.
The aim of the following therapies is to enable people to process difficult events that are preventing them from reaching their full potential and to bring an understanding and compassion for themselves.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) seeks out your thinking patterns and provides skills to relieve symptoms before connecting with how your beliefs started. CBT brings an understanding to emotions, feelings, thinking patterns and how they impact our behaviour. The techniques' used in this therapy focus on your thinking patterns and how we can use these discoveries to improve your well-being.
Person-Centred Therapy supports you to explore your beliefs, feelings and current difficulty making you more aware of why feelings and behaviours are happening. The underlining value of this therapy is for Our Mindful Counsellor to accept who you are, being honest with you while looking at the world from your perspective. This encourages bringing your difficulties to the sessions giving you more independence and not being directed by Our Mindful Counsellor.
Psychodynamic Therapy is about supporting and encouraging you to find the cause for reoccurring patterns of thinking and behaviour that you may not be aware of happening that keeps you feeling stuck from past events. Transference is also discussed in sessions; this happens when redirected feelings from significant life events are reflected towards Our Mindful Counsellor. These moments bring understanding of the difficulties you face that originate from these thinking patterns enabling us to discuss why and how they impact your relationships today.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Lauren is the perfect blend of a therapist. An empathetic listener and able to extract the key points from my jumbled talking - and share the relevant strategies to cope and process my situation.
Lauren is a wonderful person and so easy to open up to. She responds to me in ways that made me personally understand what it is I was feeling. 10/10
Lauren is very gentle and supportive. She has shared a range of practical techniques to help my wellbeing and it feels easy to trust and open up to her.
For years I was thinking to start therapy, but always had an excuse not to - ‘I’m too busy, I don’t have time, I don’t want to talk about my feelings’ I’ve had my walls really high up. I only started therapy 3 weeks ago and I’ve felt such a massive shift in my thinking, Rome wasn’t built in a day but Lauren has helped me open my mind and myself to letting myself sit in feelings. I am so glad to have been paired with Lauren and hope to continue my therapy with her for the foreseeable future.
Lauren is very kind and supportive. She listens to your worries/concerns and helps you assess your problems and offers advice and worksheets to assist you. I feel better after our sessions and feel they have been invaluable.
