About Lauren
She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages people to say what feels hard and to try small changes between meetings. Conversations focus on understanding patterns, emotion regulation and building useful coping skills that fit everyday life.
Dr Rutter has six years of professional experience and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. That background shapes a measured, evidence-aware practice while keeping the therapist’s own style flexible to each person’s needs.
Her work uses a mix of approaches chosen for the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and actions. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy supports emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Compassion Focused Therapy encourages gentler self-relating and reduces harsh self-criticism.
People can expect a collaborative way of working. Initial sessions gather clear information and set practical goals. Ongoing meetings adjust techniques to what is most helpful, with an eye to everyday challenges and achievable steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Dr Rutter commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns of behaviour that keep problems going. It is practical and suits worries, low mood and sleep difficulties.She also uses Dialectical Behavioural Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These tools can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when anger and impulsive reactions cause difficulties.
Compassion Focused Therapy is another influence, encouraging kinder self-talk and reducing self-criticism. That approach can help with depression, shame and long-standing low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit what the person needs. Clients collaborate on the plan and try approaches that fit their situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins and when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around daily life and location.
