About Lorna

Lorna Wilson BACP welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and life changes. She also supports those facing grief, anger, issues with intimacy, addictions and self-esteem. Lorna gently invites people to take a first step and talk about the things that feel hard right now.

She trained as a counsellor and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lorna has nineteen years of experience working with adults and young people in a range of settings.

Lorna bases her work on a person-centred approach. That means she focuses on building trust first, listening carefully and following the pace that feels right for each person. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can explore difficult feelings and situations.

In time she helps clients develop practical strategies to manage symptoms and make clearer choices. Sessions often include reflective conversation, simple mindfulness practices and short goal-focused steps. Common topics include coping with loss, improving communication, navigating career or parenting strain, and dealing with money and financial issues.

Lorna describes her role as offering support while people work towards greater self-understanding and fulfilment. She is open to talking about multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and caregiver stress alongside more general life difficulties.

How Lorna uses approaches online and in therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values-based action so people can take small steps toward what matters most even when things feel hard. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the centre of the work, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support to help clients find their own direction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress, sleep and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorna will discuss these methods with each person and agree which ideas to try first. She uses collaboration to match goals, preferences and everyday demands so sessions feel useful and realistic.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people work with a therapist who understands issues such as money and financial stress, caregiver strain, or cultural concerns even if they are not local.
