About Lauryn

Lauryn Harris is a counsellor who helps people facing money and other life stresses. She uses a warm, respectful style so people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at making therapy feel manageable when life already feels hard.

She trained as an Integrative Counsellor and holds NCPS. That means she brings together different ways of working to suit each person. Lauryn emphasises a person-centred way of meeting clients, offering empathy and respect rather than one fixed method.

Lauryn draws on a mix of well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment thinking, attachment-focused work, and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. She adapts these to the issue in front of her, whether that is anxiety, depression, addictions, or problems with sleep and eating.

Her practice includes support for people dealing with trauma, sexual abuse, grief and relationship difficulties. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, career stress and body image. Lauryn aims to help people build clearer routines, better boundaries and steadier coping skills.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. People come away with simple tools to use between sessions and a clearer plan for the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lauryn uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred methods as core parts of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take small steps that line up with what matters to them. Client-Centred work focuses on listening with warmth and respect so a person can explore issues at their own pace.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of coping. CBT-style tools can be practical for worries, sleep problems, eating concerns and stress related to money or work.

Finding the right approach tends to happen together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative stance means plans can change as needs and priorities shift.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also make it easier to use worksheets or practice skills between meetings, helping people apply what they learn to everyday money and life challenges.
