Hello, I’m Lorraine, a caring and empathic therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
I have worked across private practice, NHS Primary and Secondary Care services, and in Schools and Colleges. This breadth of experience has allowed me to support adults, young people, and families with many differing needs, from mild emotional distress to more complex and longstanding difficulties.

My Therapeutic Approach
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual. I believe that therapy works best when you feel heard, understood, and supported, so I aim to provide a safe, calm, and non‑judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

I draw on Person-Centred Counselling, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), working flexibly to suit you rather than following a “one size fits all” model. Together, we can explore patterns in relationships, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, helping you to gain clarity, build resilience, and develop practical strategies for change.

What You Can Expect
I work respectfully and collaboratively, valuing your experiences and strengths. Therapy with me is not about being told what to do, but about working together to make sense of what’s happening in your life and finding ways forward that feel meaningful and achievable for you.
I understand that seeking therapy can feel daunting, and I aim to make the process as supportive and accessible as possible, from our first session onwards.

If you’re considering therapy and would like to know more, I would be happy to hear from you.
