About Lauryn

Lauryn Harris is a counsellor who helps people facing difficult feelings and life changes. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting. Lauryn uses person-centred values to listen, reflect and support people at their own pace.

She draws on three years of practice supporting people with issues such as addiction, relationship strain, trauma and sexual abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, grief, anxiety and depression. Lauryn also offers support around intimacy-related problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career questions. Her work pays attention to how past hurts and attachment issues shape present relationships and choices.

Sessions focus on what matters to each person. Lauryn uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside a client-centred stance. That means conversations can include values work, practical coping strategies and exploring patterns in relationships and behaviour.

People often come to discuss communication, commitment worries, codependency or struggles with body image and sexual expression, including kink and BDSM matters. Lauryn also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress or life stage changes such as ageing and bereavement.

Her style is gentle and grounded. She aims to help people find clearer ways to manage feelings, make choices that match their values and build small steps towards change. For international or local clients interested in working together, confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lauryn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, value-led steps. ACT often involves practical exercises and learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving towards meaningful goals.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps people notice repeated ways of relating and practice new, kinder ways of connecting with others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lauryn will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit a person best. That means sessions can shift between talking, practical skills and exploring relationship patterns as needed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings, reduced screen use or shorter conversations suit someone better than longer in-person meetings.
