Lauren Percival , BACP

Lauren Percival is an integrative psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With three years of professional practice, she has supported people of varied ages and backgrounds through challenges including depression, anxiety, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, and loss.

As a BACP member, she follows the association’s ethical framework, which sets professional standards and guidance for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her integrative training means she combines methods from several established approaches to suit each person’s needs rather than relying on a single model.

Her clinical approach commonly draws on Person-Centred work, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Brief Solution-Focused techniques to address emotional and relational concerns. She emphasizes respectful, empathetic collaboration and treats clients as equals, creating space for honest reflection and practical change. Seeking therapy often requires courage, and she aims to support and empower people taking early steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Lauren works with themes such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and related issues, and she offers an integrative, client-focused way of working to help individuals identify goals and build coping strategies.

Integrative techniques adapted for online therapy

Lauren commonly uses Person-Centred work, which focuses on empathic listening and creating a respectful, non-directive space so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Brief Solution-Focused techniques that concentrate on identifying practical steps and small changes clients can try between sessions to move toward their goals. This approach suits clients who want focused, goal-oriented work and clearer short-term progress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lauren works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of techniques may evolve as therapy progresses to reflect what proves most helpful.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility in scheduling and makes it easier to maintain regular appointments from different locations. These options can help people fit therapy around work, study, or family commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support in ways that match each client’s communication style.
