How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Lauren uses a small set of evidence-based approaches in her work. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify goals and find internal reasons to change; it is often used for behaviour change and reducing avoidance. Trauma-informed practice focuses on recognising the effects of trauma and adapting conversations to avoid re-triggering, which can help people with post-traumatic stress and recovery after abuse.Choosing the right approach is part of the counselling process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques as the work progresses. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as needed.
The practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the formats offered. The biography does not list specific formats, so prospective clients should confirm available options before booking. Online or remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and appropriately qualified professionals generally use these formats to increase flexibility and maintain continuity of care.
