“Lorraine’s counselling is second to none; her natural ability to encourage and bring out the best in myself with such vivacity, helped me to laugh through the pain. I truly couldn’t have gotten through this time without her and find Lorraine to be highly professional, empathetic and gentle. I highly recommend!”

“From our first conversation, I knew that I wanted to begin my therapy journey with Lorraine. Apart from reading about her expertise and knowing she was from the same background as me, I felt she understood and listened from the very start and this continued throughout my therapy session. Lorraine balanced her professionalism and with empathy all the way through. The key thing for me that she responded to feedback of me wanting to be challenged more. Her openness to feedback allowed me to see that therapy is continuous work even with your therapist and allowed me to confirm that it was indeed not indicative of my comfortableness. Now, I feel I have the skills to take on in relationships and situations away from therapy after helping me grapple with the past and move forward. I feel more confident and rooted in who I am. I've found there is real strength in boundaries and living the life I want to create which was possible with Lorraine's support. Without a doubt, I have left the door open to return to her sessions if when and needed as I take on this new chapter on my own”

“I came to Lorraine struggling to cope, understand and make sense of a traumatic moment in my life. The time I’ve spent working with Lorraine have been the most valuable of my life. Through my sessions with Lorraine I feel great comfort, her style and ability to enable me the freedom and security to speak, has organically developed a trusting, secure and enriching patient relationship. It’s been the most liberating and empowering experience and I’ve learnt things that will stay with me forever.”

“Thank you for providing personal therapy to me during the final year of my Level 4 therapeutic counselling course.

Your counselling helped me to gain a better understanding of myself, including recognising my triggers, dealing with grief and loss. It also helped me to overcome internal anger and anxiety. The counselling helped me to become more self aware. I gained confidence in myself as a trainee counsellor and in my personal life. I found Lorraine person centred approach calming and non judgmental, which provided me with the core values I needed to open up and feel safe. I believe this assisted in my personal growth. I would highly recommend Lorraine as therapeutic counsellor and I plan to continue counselling with her in the future.

Thank you for helping reach my authentic self and staying on the journey of healing with me.”

“Lorraine was the light in my tunnel of darkness. She helped me navigate through my thoughts and feelings, and allowed me to come into my own brightness. Her professional yet caring approach, allowed me to find healthy coping mechanisms to deal with the rollercoaster of life. I am so grateful to have had her listening ear and non-judgemental space, whilst I rationalised my thoughts and feelings, overall making me more comfortable in my own skin day to day. Even though I have made it to a point where I can continue on my own, I know I can return to her sessions if needed. Thank you”

“Lorraine's professionalism and empathy made me feel understood from the beginning of our sessions. Through our sessions I was able to process past traumas and form a greater understanding of my experiences this helped me to regain confidence in myself and recognise all I have lived through and achieved. I thoroughly recommend Lorraine as a counsellor.”

“I received counselling from Lorraine for 6 sessions. She was an attentive listener and accommodated the fact I was unable to attend in person sessions by swapping them for phone calls. She was flexible and offered great advice, made me feel comfortable enough to share my thoughts through just a phone call, and helped me to reflect on each of our sessions. After the 6 sessions I felt we had accomplished my goals however I was offered another round of sessions if I felt it was necessary. She was really great and I couldn't recommend her enough. If you are looking for a flexible, knowledgeable and friendly counsellor, I would definitely advise making contact with Lorraine.”

“I don’t normally write or read reviews but here goes. Right from the start, Lorraine has demonstrated an ability to unpack certain issues - in a way that’s helped me navigate my own path through some difficult situations. Patient, kind and just… there. Priceless.”

“I had got to the stage where I needed counselling but was worried about finding the right person to share my story with. I shouldn’t have worried. Lorraine is simply excellent. She is incredibly skilled at creating a supportive, empathetic and trusting space which allowed me to share my thoughts to make sense of things that have happened and how to process them. 

This is one of the best things I’ve ever done and has hugely improved my mental health, self confidence and wellbeing. 

Thank you Lorraine. I’m very grateful.”

“This last month Lorraine has helped me more then she can ever know. Took me 20 years to talk to someone and she made me feel so comfortable and confident. I now feel in myself it’s amazing and I can’t thank Lorraine enough.”
