About Lorna
Counsellor and BACP member Lorna Wilson has 19 years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. She also helps with anger, addiction concerns, self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes. Lorna lists work on caregiver stress, midlife questions, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and women's issues among her focus areas.
Lorna trained as a counsellor and holds a postgraduate diploma. She uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building trust. She combines that with practical methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work where these fit the person’s needs.
Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward. People can expect space to talk about what is troubling them and to try concrete strategies for managing difficult moments. Lorna has experience supporting adults and young people in a range of settings, including time-limited work where focused goals are needed.
Her background includes helping with bereavement, family relationship problems, workplace stress and adjustment after life changes. She pays attention to how cultural and social pressures can affect wellbeing and brings that into the discussion when relevant.
Practical matters such as session format and cost are handled through the site process. Lorna accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, use the site matching steps to choose an option and book a first session.
How Lorna uses different approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions you can take that match what matters to you, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Client-centred work places the client’s perspective at the centre. The counsellor listens and reflects back what matters to you so that you can make clearer choices about relationships, work and parenting issues.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple present-moment practices that can reduce rumination and improve sleep and stress management. These are short exercises to practise between sessions as well as during them.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lorna will discuss goals and preferences with the client and agree together which methods to try. That collaboration guides whether more ACT, mindfulness or solution-focused tasks are used.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt online sessions to suit everyday life and practical routines.
