About   

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.

 '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.

F.A.Q

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, Depression, D.I.D, Guilt, Shame, Insomnia, Isolation, Pandemic-Covid issues, Loneliness, Negative thoughts, Relationship issues with work, family and friends, Self-harm, Stress, Trauma and Phobias.  

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 pop me an email or call me, details found on the contacts page and I can help you answer any more questions you may have.
