About Lorraine
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Lorraine listens first and asks questions to understand each person’s story. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to help people feel heard and to guide their own choices.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone wants to change addictive behaviour or build momentum for a new goal.
Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy feature when a person wants to reframe their story or focus on realistic next steps. Lorraine combines these methods to match what each person needs, rather than following a single formula.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Lorraine works to create an open, respectful space where people can talk about tough topics and practise different ways of coping. She encourages steady progress, whatever stage someone is at.

How her approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will talk through goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That decision can change as work progresses, with adjustments made to suit the person’s needs.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking to be sure they match your situation, as specific formats are not listed here.
