About Lavanniya
Lavanniya Langa is a counsellor who uses person-centred and attachment-aware ways of working to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and trauma. She holds BACP registration and brings 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and Tamil and works with people from different backgrounds, including international clients.
She focuses on practical conversations that help people manage depression, grief, addiction concerns and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s situation so the discussion and pace suit their needs. She aims to be respectful and sensitive in every appointment. Lavanniya draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with patterns of thought and unhelpful behaviours.
She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections and intimacy. Jungian influences and emotionally-focused approaches inform deeper exploration when useful. Her practice supports people dealing with parenting strain, body image and eating or sleeping problems, as well as carers facing burnout and chronic illness issues.
She also helps with abandonment, adoption and attachment concerns, and communication or commitment issues. Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different schedules. Fees vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can use this approach to improve closeness, trust and managing abandonment or attachment worries. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and follows the person’s lead. In remote sessions this means the counsellor mirrors concerns and helps people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviours with clear steps and practical exercises, which can be easily shared and practised between sessions online.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning happens early on and can be reviewed as therapy progresses so changes can be made when something isn’t working.
Online sessions come by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
