Lorna Wilson , BACP

Lorna Wilson is a UK-based counsellor who brings 19 years of professional experience to her practice and a warm, compassionate approach to working with people at challenging moments in their lives.

She trained as a counsellor and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a credential that reflects professional membership and adherence to recognised practice standards.

Over nearly two decades she has supported adults, young people, and children through issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, work-related stress, and the search for greater self-compassion. Her experience also includes helping clients with trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and the particular stresses faced by caregivers.

Her core model is person-centred, focusing on building trust and a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients can explore their concerns without judgement. In settings where time can be limited she aims to help people develop practical strategies, increase clarity about their lives, and move toward greater fulfilment. She offers a supportive space and values the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Lorna

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. It involves listening without judgement, offering empathy, and creating a supportive space where clients can explore feelings and clarify their needs - this approach is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with commitment to personal values. It helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and to take meaningful steps toward a life that reflects what matters most - often useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and non-reactive attention to thoughts and bodily sensations. Practicing mindfulness can reduce rumination, improve emotional regulation, and support recovery from trauma and burnout.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorna works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and will suggest or adapt methods so the therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call or phone, and many clients also find live chat or text messaging helpful between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
