My Approach

I am an Integrative relational Therapist. I understand that one therapeutic model does not fit all clients, therefore due to my extensive training, i can offer each client and individualised approach suited to their needs. Each session can vary dependant on what my client needs that week but my priority is always to support them in feeling as relaxed and empowered as possible whilst accessing therapy. I understand it can be very daunting process and aim to make this as easy as possible for both child and parent.

About Me

Hi, I'm Lauren and i'm a Child and Adolescent Therapist. I am currently working with 11-18 years old . I have eleven years experience working exclusively with adolescents. I have been the resident school therapist in two different high schools across Leeds and Bradford and now also work at The Retreat Clinics in York.

I have a BA (Hons) in Counselling and i followed this by returning to study for my four year diploma in Child and Young Person Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Child Psychotherapy.

I work with

  • Children and young people

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

My specialism is working within the adolescent developmental stage of life. There years can both be fantastic and also at times very difficult and it has been my honor to support so many clients over the years with what has come up for them during this time.
I have worked with many different types of anxiety over the years including: social, health and school based. I also work with OCD Type behaviours that can stem from the young person trying to manage these.
Low mood is extremely common in adolescence and finding ways to manage these times can really support young people. A place to share their feelings outside the home can prove very beneficial.
There is no stereotypical 'family' in this world and a family unit can change and grow rapidly. This sometimes can cause emotional issues for young people as the change can feel overwhelming at times. I work with young people around their relationships and support the where there may have been a separation or breakdown from what they once knew.
I have worked extensively with all forms of trauma for over a decade and have been trained in trauma support for children and young people. Please get in contact if you would like more information about the different types of trauma i can work with and how i can help your child.
