Hello I'm Lorna

I'm a Counsellor with over 16 years experience working with adults in both the NHS and various charities and self-employed.

Maybe you are feeling out of sorts, overwhelmed, anxious or low or maybe some old difficult memories have resurfaced, maybe you would like to break out of negative thought patterns or find more self-awareness?

Whatever has brought you here, therapy can help you gain insight and understanding of yourself by someone who can listen without judgement and with empathy, understanding and warmth.

You have taken that first step and I know it can feel daunting but often that is the hardest part so hopefully from reading my page it will encourage you to book your first session.

I am a naturally friendly and warm person and bring empathy and understanding to my sessions, my aim is to create a safe space either online or in person, where each client is treated with respect and compassion for sharing their story and concerns.

I regularly support people with a range of issues including: anxiety, OCD, panic attacks,  stress, overload, depression and low mood, trauma (child hood or adult) ptsd, Cancer and other illness and effects (including hidden illness such as MS and ME) low self-esteem, lack of purpose, feeling stuck, relationship issues, narcissistic abuse, rape and sexual abuse, fertility problems, menopause, loss of baby/child, grief and bereavement issues, carer's and loss of identity.

I work from a client centred base with elements of Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) stress management, relaxation and breathing techniques which work well integrated into the therapy sessions as and when it naturally flows.

I am trauma informed and culturally aware and I honour the diversity within the community.

If this resonates with you then I would be happy to arrange a free initial telephone chat.

I offer a free 10 minute telephone consultation to discuss your current needs further and talk about how we may work together, it is also a chance for you to ask any questions about therapy.

Cost

£50 per 50 minute online video or telephone session

£55 per 50 minute in person session 

Concessions may be available for retired people, students or those on low income 

I offer short-term and long-term therapy for adults only.

Once agreed we will book your first session in person or online and I will send you the relevant forms to complete.

It is important you feel comfortable with your therapist and this does often take time to build that connection and trust but if you don't feel that then there is no pressure to book any further sessions as you need to find the right Counsellor for you.

Thank you for reading my page and I hope we can talk further and hopefully get you the support you need at this time.
