How Lorna works
Her background includes work across varied settings where she supported people with depression, low self-esteem and bereavement. Her core approach is client-centred. Sessions begin by building trust and a steady working relationship.
Lorna offers a calm, non-judgemental space and listens closely so people can make sense of what matters to them. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on chosen values. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, practical goals and find what works in everyday life.
Trauma-focused ideas are applied when people need to process past hurt at a measured pace. Lorna aims to help people develop clearer choices and practical strategies. She supports parents dealing with caregiving stress, people facing prejudice or multicultural challenges, and those working through midlife or financial strains.
Her style is warm, patient and straightforward, helping people take manageable steps toward change.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online with a counsellor
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a trusting relationship where the person leads the conversation and feels heard; this approach supports self-understanding and emotional processing.Lorna will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She discusses goals, preferences and how comfortable someone feels with different techniques. Together they decide whether to emphasise mindfulness, solution-focused steps or trauma-informed work as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat suit people who prefer writing to speak or need more flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and caregiving responsibilities.
