About Lavanniya

Lavanniya Langa is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also supports people coping with major life changes and parenting concerns.

She meets people where they are and keeps conversations clear and direct. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can ease daily pressure. She adapts how she talks and plans work to the needs each person brings.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. That means attention to how early relationships shape current feelings, and a focus on the person’s own priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes.

Lavanniya also brings elements of emotionally focused and Jungian thinking when those perspectives help explain patterns in relationships or feelings. She uses these approaches to look at intimacy issues, grief, self‑esteem and communication difficulties. Practical exercises and reflection are combined so people can notice change between sessions.

She offers therapy in English and Tamil and is able to work with people living outside the UK. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How sessions work

How Lavanniya uses therapy approaches online

Lavanniya uses attachment-based work to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotions. This can help with parenting stress, intimacy issues and recurrent patterns in close relationships.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on the person’s priorities and creates space for them to lead the conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often combine talking, practical exercises and written reflections to make progress between meetings.
