About Lorraine
Counsellor Lorraine Stronach is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems and depression. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Lorraine uses an integrative style. She draws on different approaches to suit the person in front of her. That means sessions can look different depending on the issue and what the client prefers.
In the room she aims to help people talk through what is most pressing. That can include unpacking patterns in relationships, coping with mood changes, or managing impulses and addictive behaviour. Conversations are practical and focused on what feels manageable right now.
Her background includes attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and elements from Jungian and mindfulness approaches where these fit the person’s needs. This mix is used to look at thoughts, feelings and the stories people tell about themselves.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. Fees vary with location. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment via the site’s booking button.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways in close relationships and under stress. Client-centred therapy emphasises a straightforward, non-directive way of listening. It helps people speak about what matters and make their own decisions about change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviours interact. It offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and coping patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That decision draws on the client’s goals, problem areas and how they prefer to work, so the plan can change over time.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering meetings at times that suit work or family routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods for remote work, for example using CBT tools in a video meeting or practising mindfulness exercises over the phone. These practical benefits can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to try different approaches without major disruption.
