I specialise in relational trauma, working mainly with attachment wounds, domestic abuse and childhood trauma. My work is currently split across two sectors - one being my own private practice and the other working for a private health care company. In the past I worked at a domestic abuse charity and delivered a mental health programme on behalf of the DWP. I work in a trauma-informed way embodying all aspects of what makes us human and believe that therapy is so much more than our thoughts and feelings!Connect with Lauren Instagram @TherapywithLauren_Website - https://therapywithlauren.uk/Facebook - Therapy With LaurenLets Connect!Follow me on Instagram ⁠⁠Follow the Podcast on Instagram⁠⁠Work With Me - 1-1 Therapy⁠⁠Disclaimer - This channel/ podcast exist for psychoeducation & marketing purposes.
