About Lorelle
Lorelle Busby welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or confidence. She introduces short, clear steps so a worried parent can picture how talking with a counsellor might help. She writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical change and emotional understanding.
With five years of practice she draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Sessions often include gentle reflection on past experiences alongside exercises that build new habits.
How Lorelle works
Lorelle encourages people to notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions now.
Client-centred principles mean sessions are guided by the person in the room rather than a rigid plan. Lorelle has experience with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, and caregiving stress. She also supports people managing eating and sleeping problems, anger, career concerns and life changes.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and hoarding. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as a professional credential. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or texting.
The process aims to be collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then make small moves towards what matters in life; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people rewrite unhelpful relational responses to feel more connected and steady. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the room, offering empathic listening and a non-judgemental space so clients can find their own solutions.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as things evolve. This means sessions can shift between reflective listening, practical exercises or skills practice depending on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work for shorter check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to attend from different locations and at varied times while keeping the therapy focused on progress.
