Trauma-focused psychotherapist helping professionals recover from burnout, trauma, and overwhelm

Hello & Welcome...

I'm Lauren

I specialise in supporting professionals experiencing burnout, chronic stress, overwhelm, and the lasting impact of difficult life and work-related experiences.

Using evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I help clients understand and address the underlying patterns, core beliefs, and coping strategies that contribute to burnout, overworking, people-pleasing, and emotional exhaustion.

Together, we work towards creating healthier, more sustainable ways of managing work, relationships, and life, helping you feel more balanced, resilient, and in control.

I specialise in identifying and working with core beliefs—deeply held patterns of thinking that often develop early in life and can continue to influence how we respond to stress, relationships, and work, keeping us stuck in unhelpful cycles.

I support clients in recognising and understanding these beliefs with greater clarity, and in working through the patterns they create. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I help you begin to shift long-standing ways of coping so you can build a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and sustainable.

Who do I help?

I work with professionals across a wide range of roles and industries who are struggling with work-related stress, burnout, and the emotional impact of high-pressure environments, including:

  • Burnout and chronic stress
  • Work-related anxiety and overwhelm
  • People-pleasing and over-responsibility in professional roles
  • Difficulty switching off or recovering from work demands
  • The psychological impact of long-term stress and workplace pressure

Alongside my work in occupational health and burnout, I have developed particular experience supporting individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEADs), deepening my understanding of the complex relationship between stress, trauma, emotional wellbeing, and physical symptoms.

I aim to create a safe and collaborative space where you can explore the challenges you're facing, gain insight into the factors driving them, and build healthier, more sustainable ways of managing work and life.

If you're ready to address burnout, stress, or the challenges affecting your wellbeing, I can support you in understanding what's driving these difficulties and help you create lasting, meaningful change.

Work with me

The therapy provided to me has been transformational in my life

I have been able to recover from monumental traumas in a way I’d not had access to before. I have then been provided with tools that will help maintain the strength founded through my sessions. My thanks go to the supervisors assisting, but primarily to Lauren for her care in sessions, and her extra work for my case through supervisions and extra research. Without her tenacity to try different methods of care, I wouldn’t have had the improvements I have now. Thank you Lauren.

Lauren was very responsive to the particular challenges I was facing

I found the service practical and supportive, and understanding of the challenges with engaging with this type of therapy whilst working clinically. Lauren was very responsive to the particular challenges I was facing, and highly focused on my needs during a challenging time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the service.

Lauren was amazing and very patient with me

I Would not have got through this without her. I cannot put into words how much this therapy has helped me. Lauren was able to help me break down events and process each stage properly and effectively.  I admit at first I was a little sceptical of it, however I carried on and it really does work and helps you process things as your brain should.

I am extremely thankful for this service. It has been life changing for me

I didn't expect that my sessions with Lauren could improve my life in the way they have. I am a mental health nurse specialist and I am astonished by the changes I have made. Lauren has supported me to reprocess things I thought were impossible to change. Lauren was always patient, supportive and willing to look at things in different ways with me to best fit my needs.

Lauren was just amazing

I was a bit cynical when I was first put forward as to whether it would help but it transformed me and that was down to Lauren. I was lucky to have found her, wholehearted Thank you x.
