Lauren White Counselling & Psychotherapy

My Approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy, in Lincoln.

My approach is analytic. This means that problems in the here and now are also seen within the context of your whole life; the history of your relationships and experiences, including your very earliest ones, and the meaning these hold for you.

Psychotherapy/counselling seeks to help you understand both your problem, or symptoms, and what lies behind these, in the belief that this is the way to find a lasting solution.

This approach is informed by both my trainings, by 25 years post-qualifying experience, and increasingly by my interest in affective neuroscience. To me therapy is about both a relationship and a safe place in which to think, feel, reflect, explore, make connections, understand, and facilitate change.

I see individual clients at least once a week, and sometimes more often, either for an open-ended period of time or for an agreed number of sessions. This will depend on a variety of factors, including the type of problem someone wants to work on, and the type of solution they are seeking. Sessions are fifty minutes long and take place on the same days, and at the same times, each week.

Psychotherapy groups meet weekly for 90 minutes.

I also facilitate reflective practice groups for staff, experiential groups for students, team building groups for employees, and supervision groups for group and individual psychotherapists and counsellors.

I am a UKCP registered clinical supervisor. I have supervised training psychotherapists (group and individual) as well as qualified professionals, over many years. My approach is to facilitate reflective practice in a relationship of trust, encouraging the use of parallel process in supervision to further understanding. Apart from supervising other practitioners in private practice, I have facilitated reflective practice groups within the NHS and for staff at a number of charities, including Hestia and the Richmond Fellowship. I have also been a clinical supervisor for a South London Counselling Service.

I am a member of the Universities Psychotherapy and Counselling Association, the Neuropsychoanalysis Association, and the College of Psychanalysts..
