Rather than using a traditional counselling approach to treat only the mental symptoms, I use a Holistic Counselling approach to assess you as a whole person. I look at underlying reasons & causes for your distress, taking into consideration physical, social & emotional aspects of your life, in order to find healing.
As people, we naturally tend to focus on moving forward wanting to achieve our full potential, however certain life changing events, create obstacles in our paths preventing us from enjoying life. We need to understand our journeys, accept our set-backs, appreciate our individuality & find our strength to overcome these, to refocus & move forward again.
By using talk therapy & by teaching skills, I will enable you to work through your difficult emotions, creating awareness, self-acceptance to empower yourself to better emotional health.

Client Reviews:
”I’ve been down a very rough road, I was drug addicted, heart-broken and lost for a very long time. It almost seemed impossible for me to break the monotonous cycle that had become my life. I’m happy to say now that I’m a lot stronger as a human being now than I was then through the practical support and ear of Lorraine.
She helped me a great deal get through a bad break up too, where I almost felt crippled by the anxiety and sadness that had taken hold of my heart but through applying her ideas i’ve managed to put into place effective coping mechanisms that to this day now help me progress instead of going backwards.
Thanks so much Lorraine!“
From Client
”Lorraine was so kind, compassionate and patient with my mom after my dads passing earlier this year. She really helped with useful ways to control her stress levels and helped her understand that what she was feeling was the natural process of grief and that she wasn’t alone. Thank you Lorraine
From Client’s Daughter
”Lorraine has a way of changing my perspective so that life’s possibilities open up tremendously, I was trapped in this narcissistic relationship and felt that I was in need of my husband’s approval all the time. Lorraine helped me to realise that I am my own person and I do not need anybody’s approval to feel good about myself.
Lorraine helped me to navigate through a divorce while providing gentle guidance in my personal discovery and re-definition of myself and self-worth.
I am very thankful for working with Lorraine to help me overcome a traumatic experience. It was something I could not do or think about without becoming extremely emotional!“
