Background and approach

Lorna listens without judgement and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Alongside a person-centred outlook, she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused work when those methods fit the situation.

The aim is practical: develop clearer choices, build daily habits that help, and reduce unhelpful patterns. Sessions typically focus on short, manageable steps a person can try between meetings. Lorna helps people develop coping strategies for sleep, eating, work stress and caregiving strain.

She also supports those facing discrimination, multicultural issues, or difficulties with self-esteem and self-harm urges. Lorna is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

If you want to explore starting therapy, she guides people through the initial process and helps them plan next steps.

Approaches that suit online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters most, and take small actions towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and struggles with motivation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and coping with grief. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering empathy and a non-judgemental space so people can explore their concerns at their own pace and build self-understanding.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to try first. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as needs change, mixing short-term practical steps with longer reflective work when useful.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video lets people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be quicker to access and use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity of care when life is busy.
