Let's Talk 121

Online and Face to Face therapy
with Lorraine Ross.

Welcome to Letstalk121.

Counselling can be helpful at any stage in your life, people seek counselling for a variety of reasons, such as anxiety, anger, depression, loneliness and stress, together we can find answers to help you promote a better sense of self.
As a counsellor I work in a non-judgemental way with my clients aged 16+ and I tailor the sessions to suit each individual. All sessions are confidential between me the counsellor and you the client.
We all have different needs, issues and goals and I welcome difference and diversity with open arms.

I take particular interest in Loss and Bereavement . I am passionate about helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress and anxiety.

I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients and look forward to working with you.

Individual Therapy

Working 1-2-1 either by phone, online or face to face, we will develop a trusting, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship, enabling you to open up and explore your issues in a safe space. I wont be telling you what you should or shouldn't be doing but instead work along side you at your own pace. I offer a variety of approaches and techniques such as CBT, Psychodynamics, Gestalt and Person Centred that will help you overcome personal issues and challenges, I cater to each of my client’s personal needs in order to unlock their full potential. Contact me to start your proactive journey today.

You may have lots of questions-send me an email or call me so I can hopefully answer them.

What issues can I bring to my sessions?

Well, that is entirely up to you.  Although I have a particular interest in Loss and Bereavement, I also work with -but not limited to- issues such as:

Addiction, Anger, Anxiety,  Bullying, Depression, D.I.D, Guilt, Harassment, Shame, Insomnia, Isolation, Loneliness, Negative thoughts, Relationship issues, Self-harm, Stress, Trauma..  

You decide on what the focus is for each session.  Together we will explore in depth, so you gain a better understanding of what is going on for you.

How many sessions do I need?

Great Question.  This depends on you, your needs and your issues that you bring.  I would say initially we would start with 6 sessions, then we can decide after that if you would like more sessions. I work short term and open ended.
  Some clients will have 6 sessions whilst others like to stay in therapy for a longer period of time.  

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.

I'm not sure if I should have therapy?

Not sure? That's a normal way to be feeling to be honest.  
Next steps is to get in touch, details found on the contacts page and I can help you answer any more questions you may have.
