Lauren Percival , BACP

Lauren Percival is an integrative psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. In three years of practice she has supported clients of varying ages and backgrounds with concerns such as depression, anxiety, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, loss, and other life challenges.

As an integrative practitioner, she blends several therapeutic styles to tailor work to each person’s needs, drawing on Person-Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Brief Solution Focused approaches. This flexibility allows her to adapt methods to the presenting issue and to the client’s preferences.

She works from a respectful, empathic stance and treats clients as equals, aiming to create a collaborative space where people feel heard and supported. Seeking change can take courage, and Lauren frames her work around empowering clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. She is particularly attuned to young adult issues alongside a broad range of mental health and relationship concerns.

If someone is ready to begin that process, Lauren offers supportive guidance and practical tools to move forward, and she looks forward to working with new clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Lauren works integratively and uses established therapeutic methods to meet each client’s needs. Person-Centred therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship that helps people explore their feelings and build self-understanding; it can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and issues of self-esteem. Gestalt therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and the whole of a person’s experience, supporting clients to notice patterns and make meaningful changes in relationships and daily life. Brief Solution Focused therapy concentrates on identifying practical goals and small steps toward change, which can be useful for managing stress, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as work progresses so the client feels involved in choosing the path forward.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers greater flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, study, or family commitments. These options allow clients to meet with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit them and to choose the mode of communication that feels most supportive for their situation.
