Everything Lorraine lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Evidence-based talking therapies focus on understanding patterns and building new ways of coping. One common method looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact; it helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and social fears.

Another helpful approach centres on emotion and connection. It encourages naming and sitting with difficult feelings, then finding practical steps to reduce their impact. This is often used for relationship stress, guilt and issues with self-worth.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will ask about concerns, goals and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and use longer sessions for deeper work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or want more flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday commitments.
