Lauren Stone, at Our Mindful Counsellor offers a warm, confident, compassionate, safe space to discuss your concerns and difficulties. I'm an Integrative counsellor and registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work to deliver effective interventions to adults who are experiencing a range of difficulties.
The aim of the following therapies is to enable people to process difficult events that are preventing them from reaching their full potential and to bring an understanding and compassion for themselves.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) seeks out your thinking patterns and provides skills to relieve symptoms before connecting with how your beliefs started. CBT brings an understanding to emotions, feelings, thinking patterns and how they impact our behaviour. The techniques' used in this therapy focus on your thinking patterns and how we can use these discoveries to improve your well-being.
Person-Centred Therapy supports you to explore your beliefs, feelings and current difficulty making you more aware of why feelings and behaviours are happening. The underlining value of this therapy is for Our Mindful Counsellor to accept who you are, being honest with you while looking at the world from your perspective. This encourages bringing your difficulties to the sessions giving you more independence and not being directed by Our Mindful Counsellor.
Psychodynamic Therapy is about supporting and encouraging you to find the cause for reoccurring patterns of thinking and behaviour that you may not be aware of happening that keeps you feeling stuck from past events. Transference is also discussed in sessions; this happens when redirected feelings from significant life events are reflected towards Our Mindful Counsellor. These moments bring understanding of the difficulties you face that originate from these thinking patterns enabling us to discuss why and how they impact your relationships today.

Lauren provides a warm, friendly and safe space. A great listener, Lauren will notice unhelpful thinking patterns and invite me to question them. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for expert guidance in a calm setting. The only regret is that I didn’t start sooner!
