More about Lorraine

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a BACP Accredited UK based therapist with over 20 years experience of supporting people in the workplace with a range of issues.

For the past 12 years I've also gained a wide experience of providing counselling support both in private practice and a variety of other settings to include private employers offering employee assistance programmes, the NHS, Family Support Services, Home Start and the Trade Unions.

I offer a gentle, calm approach to therapy and will work with you in the way that best suits your needs to get where you need to be.

I provide a confidential space, offering a compassionate, honest and trustworthy service to provide counselling support for either specific issues or simply because life feels complicated and it would help to talk in a safe, contained and non judgmental space.

I am told that I'm easy to talk to and would welcome the opportunity to work with you.

I hold the following Qualifications:

BACP Accreditation

Post Grad Level 7 Certificate in Supervision 

TCL4 Diploma in Therapeutic counselling

Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling

NVQ Level 4 in Advice and Guidance

OA Certificate in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) - distinction.

BACP Certificate of Proficiency

PTTLS (Passport to Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector)

NOCN Level 3 Certificate in Employment Law

I have also completed further supplementary training to include Bereavement and Loss, Child Protection, Safeguarding, Domestic Violence, Addiction and Substance misuse, Emotional freedom technique, Childhood sexual abuse, (DID) Dissociative Identity Disorder and art therapy.

Some testimonials from past clients are below:

'I thought I had nothing to say, but then it all came out and I couldn't believe I'd talked for nearly an hour'

'Lorraine has a wonderful way, which puts you at ease and helps eliminate fears.'

'I found counselling so helpful, to be able to talk to someone who did not judge me helped me to feel confident to open up and to think about things differently'

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
