Lorraine Stronach , NCPS

Lorraine Stronach is a counsellor with 18 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain and depression. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make talking about difficult issues feel manageable. Lorraine welcomes people from the United Kingdom and internationally and works in English.

She uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs rather than a single style. Sessions can include practical strategies to manage mood and anxiety, alongside reflection on deeper patterns that fuel repeated problems. Lorraine explains techniques clearly and helps people try them out between sessions.

She pays particular attention to attachment and relationship patterns that affect how people connect and feel safe with others. Work on those patterns often helps with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues and isolation. Lorraine also supports people exploring body image, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Her background includes client-centred listening combined with cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour. She also draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices when they suit the person in front of her. This flexible approach means the focus is always on what will help now and in the longer term.

Sessions are available online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Lorraine uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session details are arranged after completing a short matching questionnaire.

Online approaches that adapt to your needs

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current responses and helps people recognise patterns that affect trust and connection. It can be useful for abandonment, attachment issues and relationship concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and helps people find their own solutions by exploring feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasises practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and is often used for stress, anxiety and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process is collaborative - techniques are tried and reviewed so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when you need it, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats increase flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on practical, consistent therapeutic work.
