How Lorraine's Approach Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist offers an empathic, non-judgemental space and follows the client's pace to help them make sense of difficult feelings. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and reactions to trauma.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Lorraine will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust the style of sessions accordingly. Together they decide whether to focus on emotional understanding, problem solving or a mix of both.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter way to check in, and messaging allows reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel, while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
