Welcome to TALKING THERAPY. I provide professional counselling services tailored to address various challenges including but limited to harassment, stalking, cyber-stalking, and bereavement. My mission is to offer a compassionate and supportive environment where individuals can explore their concerns, heal, and grow. Through evidence-based practices and empathetic care, I am committed to guiding our clients toward a brighter future.
I am an Accredited Psychotherapist (MBACP Accred) and qualified Independent Stalking Advocacy Specialist (ISAS). I have worked with Cruse Bereavement Support as a therapist and assessor, and now run a private practice supporting clients with diverse needs and goals.
I also accept Aviva, Vitality, AXA, Health Assured, and EAP clients. Sessions are available in person or online, offering a safe, non‑judgemental space to explore challenges. As an integrative therapist, I use a range of approaches to help you move forward.

'I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Lorraine. She has been my guiding light through the last six weeks. I honestly don't know how I would have reached this far without her. She is worth her weight in gold. I appreciate every second your charity has given me in support.'

'I found my sessions with Lorraine to be friendly, encouraging and extremely helpful in terms of clarifying some core issues. I would recommend Lorraine to anyone who is seeking a safe space to talk and connect with their own thoughts and then have an open discussion about them.'
Client 2024

Lorraine helped me through a challenging period while i was dealing with bereavement and issues in the workplace. We quickly built a good rapport and understanding over weekly online sessions. We delved into deeper issues i had repressed and Lorraine guided me through coming to terms and understanding these. After these sessions I feel incredibly more positive in my general outlook and have a heightened awareness on my thoughts and emotions. i cannot recommend Lorraine highly enough and am very thankful to her for her time.
J. 2024

After suffering an emotional breakdown I knew I need to needed to reach out for support. Lorraine provided me with a safe and calm environment to slowly discuss my bereavement issues, after losing a very close family member suddenly. The sessions however ended up highlighting how I had lost my way and ultimately neglected myself for quite some time. Lorraine has not only helped with guidance on such a huge loss in my life but also helped to teach me to be kind to myself and that it’s ok to put myself first. After 6 weeks, I’m ready to face to world again and am proud to have given myself some aims and goals. I would highly recommend Lorraine for anyone who is struggling with bereavement and self worth.

It provides a safe environment to explore your thoughts and emotions with the guidance of a trained professional. If you're considering it, taking an initial session might help you decide if it's the right step for you. contact me for a free consultation.

How many sessions do I need?

Typically, the required number of sessions can vary based on the nature of the topic being addressed. Often, a preliminary consultation can provide a better estimate specific to your situation.

Will our sessions be confidential?

Everything we discuss will be confidential.
I work ethically and safely at all times.
If I believe that you are a serious risk to yourself or to others then I will discuss this with you first and seek further assistance from my supervisor to get the best possible outcome.
As I adhere to the BACP ethical framework I am supervised (as should all good ethical practising counsellors) which means at times I may take certain elements from our sessions to supervision where I work on a 121 basis which supports my work with clients. At no time will I be giving personal details to anyone.

There's always someone out there to speak to you.
