About Lorna

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor with 19 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and relationship strain. She welcomes people struggling with depression, anger, addiction, parenting pressures and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Lorna aims to make the first step feel less daunting and thanks readers for taking time to consider support.

Lorna trained with a postgraduate diploma in counselling and is a BACP member, which she lists as BACP. Her main approach is Client-Centred Therapy, which means she focuses on building a trusting relationship and offering a non-judgemental space. She uses practical conversations to help people find clarity and make choices that suit their lives.

In sessions she mixes Client-Centred principles with mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused ideas when these suit a person’s goals. Lorna also draws on trauma-focused methods for people affected by abuse or post-traumatic stress. She stresses collaboration and creating strategies that fit everyday life rather than one-size-fits-all plans.

Her work includes support for caregiver stress, communication and commitment issues, life changes such as midlife shifts, multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and money or career worries. She also helps with self-harm, self-love and women’s issues. Lorna describes therapy as a place to develop understanding and practical ways forward.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom and international clients. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Lorna’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about creating a respectful and non-judgemental space where the person decides the pace and topics. Online sessions use that same focus on listening, understanding and working collaboratively to make sense of difficult feelings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still choose actions that matter to them. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where values and action matter. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then tailor a mix of Client-Centred, ACT or mindfulness strategies. This is done together so the methods fit the person rather than the other way around.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins and offer flexibility around work or caregiving commitments. Many people find these practical benefits help maintain steady progress over time.
