Lorna Wilson , BACP

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with anger, addictions, intimacy-related concerns and issues that often affect women. Lorna aims to make the first steps into counselling feel straightforward and respectful.

Lorna trained as a counsellor after seeing how therapy changed her own life. She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has 19 years of experience working in a variety of settings across the United Kingdom.

Her core approach is client-centred. Sessions focus on building trust and a working relationship first. From that base she helps people find clarity, make practical changes and develop strategies that suit their daily life.

Lorna also uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness, alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed ways of working. These approaches support different needs, including coping with life changes, grief, post-traumatic stress and low self-esteem.

People see her for a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, midlife questions, career worries and multicultural issues. She seeks to offer warmth, non-judgement and a space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Lorna encourages practical steps alongside reflection so people can try things between sessions and notice what helps.

How Lorna uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and situations where someone feels stuck. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach supports people who need time to make sense of feelings such as grief, low self-esteem or relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters to the client, discuss practical methods and agree together which approaches to try. Goals and preferences shape the plan, and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video calls let you see and hear each other for fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
