About Lavanniya
Lavanniya Langa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and depression. She also helps those managing major life changes and the daily effects of grief or caregiving strain.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. Sessions focus on identifying feelings that are hard to name and on changing interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. Lavanniya aims to make conversations direct and practical so people can try something different between sessions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles. Jungian concepts may be introduced to consider deeper life themes when useful. Together these methods help with intimacy questions, self-esteem struggles, and coping with loss or chronic stress.
Lavanniya works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, eating and sleeping problems, body image, and communication or commitment issues. She is experienced supporting people through adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties, and the effects of ageing and long-term illness.
Sessions are conducted in English and Tamil for clients who prefer those languages. To begin, clients follow the service sign-up flow and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotional responses and on shifting interaction patterns that cause distress. It is often used for work around attachment and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect present relationships and helps people notice and change recurring connection habits.Lavanniya also uses client-centred methods which prioritise the client's perspective and pace, alongside CBT techniques to address thinking and behaviour patterns. She and the client work together to choose which approach best fits the presenting issue and the person's goals. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to a clinic. A conversation at the first appointment will clarify practical arrangements and the most helpful way to proceed.
