About Lauren
Dr. Lauren Rutter is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) who supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma. She also helps with anger, addiction concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem, career strain and issues related to intimacy, parenting and LGBT matters.
She has six years of clinical experience and works with people seeking practical ways to cope with life changes and ongoing difficulties.
Background and approach
Her sessions aim to be straightforward and calm. She creates space for clients to talk through their thoughts and feelings. Together they identify patterns that keep problems going and try small, realistic steps to reduce distress.
Lauren adapts her approach to each person. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy as sources of techniques and exercises. These methods are used to address symptoms, build skills and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Lauren also offers support for first responder issues and for people navigating neurodiverse needs such as ADHD. She works with grief, bipolar mood management and relationship concerns by tailoring sessions to what the person needs right now. Her practice aims for clear goals and steady progress.
Clients can expect collaborative planning, practical coping strategies and a focus on building everyday routines that help wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Lauren commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy alongside Compassion Focused Therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and then try small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and impulsive reactions. Compassion Focused Therapy teaches ways to respond to oneself with kindness to reduce shame and self-criticism.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that suit your needs. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as you go so the work fits your life and priorities.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, care commitments and travel, and they may allow quicker check-ins when time is limited. Some clients find shorter remote sessions useful for focused skill practice, while others prefer longer appointments for deeper work. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists can work with you to choose what will fit best.
