Lauren Deighton - Sex and Relationship Therapist — Psychotherapist in Brighton, England

We saw Lauren as a couple for around 18 months, and she made a huge difference in our relationship. She listened and gave us the space to communicate fairly, and really knows how to create a safe space where both of us felt heard and understood. We’re really grateful for everything we learned and often recommend her to friends looking for a great couples therapist.

Lauren is a therapist with great integrity, training and experience. She is an exceptional listener and holds her clients with great compassion and understanding. Lauren works with the highest ethical integrity and therapeutic skill. As well as her extensive training and experience, she brings deep warmth and helps her clients transform their distress into security and healing. I confidently refer clients seeking counselling to Lauren.

Lauren is a wonderful Psychosexual Therapist and Couples Counsellor who I have known and trusted for many years. She is dedicated to her work and is always thoughtful and mindful of her clients. I have no hesitation recommending her to people.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Lauren had two couples sessions with me and my partner. She asked for individual sessions to get to know us in a one to one. Lauren got the time wrong for my session. I chalked this up to a one time mistake. I’d paid for this session in advance. Lauren asked to reschedule the session. She mistook the time AGAIN but me managed to have the call. She then asked me to pay for the second session, even though the first session was paid for and was missed because of her being unorganised. When I refused as I’d already paid she said she didn’t want to work with my partner and I moving forward. This was after four sessions during a traumatic time in our relationship. Unprofessional, unorganised and a non empathetic therapist. Duty of care, pfffffffft

I've known Lauren for four years and in that time have witnessed her growth and development as a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. She is a very warm, caring person and committed to helping people in any way that she can. Lauren works extremely hard in her private practice and is an extremely professional, competent therapist. For those reading this who may need some help and support in their personal life with regard to sexual or relationship issues, I can highly recommend Lauren. You will find her very easy to talk to, non-judgemental, open, and honest.

As a psychotheraputic counsellor with over 10 years experience, and having worked directly with Lauren for the last 3 years, I have no hesitation in recommending Lauren as a warm, empathic, professional and exceptionally capable Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. She has proven expertise working with sexual health issues and has helped many men, women and couples to overcome their sex and relationship difficulties.

Lauren worked as a sex and relationship therapist at our GP practice in Brighton for 18 months. During that time she helped dozens of patients with a wide range of issues. Without exception the feedback we received from patients was hugely positive and she unlocked issues which many had been suffering with for years. Patients described her as calm, attentive, supportive, but not afraid to challenge where needed. Her integrity, empathy and tactful exploration of sensitive issues meant many were able to open up about sex and relationship problems they had struggled to address. She worked with patients (both individually or in couples) using a wide range of therapeutic techniques to establish happier, healthier, more fulfilling sexual relationships and renewed confident sexuality. I have no reservations at all in recommending her as a therapist in this area given what I have heard from patients in response to her work with them. For some her involvement has simply been life changing. Dr Fiona Rumboll, GP Partner, St Peter's Medical Centre, Brighton.
