About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related stresses. She speaks English, Spanish and French and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Lorraine aims to create a calm, respectful space so people can talk through what feels hard right now.
Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without judgement and avoids labelling people. Conversations are shaped around the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Lorraine draws on practical tools and reflective dialogue to help clients make steady changes. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people settle on what matters to them and take small steps toward it.
Attachment-based thinking is used when relationship patterns or past hurts are part of the struggle. Sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving and calming strategies for panic or persistent worry. Lorraine also works with issues such as grief, addiction, self-esteem, parenting strain and workplace stress.
The goal is to leave each session with something concrete to try between meetings. She accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats. If someone prefers a conversational, pragmatic approach that still honours feelings, Lorraine can help shape a plan that fits their life and goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small actions that bring life closer to what matters, which can be useful for persistent anxiety or life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple experiments and skills to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy-related issues and repeated conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods collaboratively. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and practical for the individual.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and practise skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or clients who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while using the approaches described above.
