She presents as calm and approachable and aims to create a straightforward space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them.

How Lorraine works
Lorraine draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts conversations to fit each person. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client and the goals they bring. In practice she combines ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based work.
That mix helps with thinking patterns, values-driven choices, and relationship dynamics. Lorraine also uses client-centred principles to keep the dialogue respectful and focused on the person in front of her. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.
Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Sessions can be held in English, Spanish or French, and Lorraine accepts clients from outside the UK. She aims to offer a practical, down-to-earth approach and to tailor each plan so it fits the client’s life and goals.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present connections and helps people work on trust, closeness and boundaries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical exercises and new ways of responding to difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss options with each person and choose or blend approaches based on goals, preferences and the issues being faced. That collaborative process helps set clear aims and practical steps for the sessions.
Online therapy can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people keep visual contact for deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around daily life and different schedules.
