What Some Of My Clients Say

"Lorraine has been a wonderful therapist for me. She is very approachable and makes you feel at ease. She helped me with a long standing issue of health anxiety and gave me tools to help me manage my problem.
I would certainly recommend this very professional and knowledgeable lady to anyone needing support. I can't thank her enough for the way she changed my life.

If you are reading this please don't keep battling alone. Lorraine speaks to you over the phone initially with no commitment so you can make a decision after speaking. I highly recommend her."
"I booked 5 sessions to get some help with managing anxiety. I was initially a little skeptical but willing to try something new because anxiety was taking over my life.

Lorraine was so friendly and understanding, even from the first email I sent and telephone consultation.

It was really helpful to discuss some of the issues I was dealing with with no judgement at all. The techniques I learned have made a huge difference and I feel a lot more in control and able to make conscious decisions about what I want from my life. I have a much more positive outlook now and would definitely recommend Lorraine's therapy to anyone."
JD
"I found the support with Lorraine absolutely invaluable.

I completed 5 sessions around general anxiety and feel I got out way more than I expected from the sessions.

Lorraine is kind, empathic and a good listener. I felt heard and understood during the sessions and came away armed with both validation and practical tools to help me manage distressing thoughts in between sessions.

Thank you so much Lorraine."
RM
"I was a little apprehensive to have therapy and I think I didn’t know what to expect.

When you have anxiety having the thought of getting help is daunting itself. Lorraine’s therapy has taught me the importance of self-care and how to manage my anxiety and respect it.

It’s not something you can entirely get rid of but with Lorraine’s help she teaches you how to control these situations and live your life more freely.

If you think you have anxiety and need help, please don’t wait because someone like Lorraine will help you"
KR
Lorraine was very professional and so lovely, she made me feel at ease from my very first session. She has helped me develop a tool box to deal with my bereavement as well as my self esteem and confidence. I have been in a much happier place since my sessions and when the grief does set in occasionally I feel I have been able to cope with it better than I ever have done by myself before.
EW
"It was an absolute pleasure working with Lorraine, her way of simplifying/ breaking down her therapy techniques helped me tenfold and I would like to say she literally turned my life around.

I've had so much weight lifted of my shoulders as I was in somewhat of a dark place.

Our sessions where on zoom as I work away and even though our sessions weren’t face-to face It didn't matter as it worked wonders. She really worked hard on my thought process and positive mindset and I cant thank her enough."

Is Anxiety Putting Your Life on Hold?

Are you overwhelmed by negative thoughts and emotions?
Are you feeling lost or out of control?
Do life's everyday struggles all feel too much to cope with?
Are there fears, doubts or anxieties that are preventing you from moving forward with your life?
Are you trapped by your emotions and feelings and feel that life is passing you by?

If you are experiencing some or all of the above then you may well be wrestling with a stress or anxiety disorder.

Excessive or persistent states of stress and anxiety can have a devastating, toxic effect on both our mental and physical wellbeing. They can be responsible for a wide range of problems, including:

Depression Anxiety Attacks Panic Attacks
IBS Insomnia Fibromyalgia
Obsessive Compulsive Disorders Migraines Addictions

How Does It Work?

I use a unique, proven process that I tailor to your specific needs and which uses the very best therapeutic approaches available. This will equip you with the tools you need to help you manage your anxiety and reclaim your life.

Telephone Consultation​

The first step in the process will be for us to have an informal, thirty minute phone call to talk through what you need help with, what you want to achieve and how the therapy process would work.

This a free, no risk service

We would discuss the sort of help I could provide, how many sessions we might need and the costs involved. If we are both happy to work together I would then design a Therapy Programme specific to you.

Therapy Programme

I will usually ask for some more information via email after our initial phone call and use this to design a Therapy Programme for us to work through together.   I use a range of therapy tools, each of which has its particular strengths. Some are more relevant to certain types of disorders or may be more appropriate at different stages of our work together. This unique, combined approach delivers a powerful process that can be profoundly transformational.

ACT

ACT helps us to accept rather than struggle with our thoughts and feelings. It connects us to what’s important in our life so that we feel empowered to commit to taking action to develop a rich, full and meaningful life.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a natural, effective way of making contact with the inner (subconscious) self, which holds the answers to many of our issues, as well as a tremendous reservoir of unrecognised potential, strength and knowledge.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings so that we are better able to manage them. It is also a wonderful way to learn to relax and it can help with many physical and emotional disorders including depression, anxiety, pain and stress.

Psychosensory Therapy

Psychosensory therapy combines talking, visualisation, eye movements and therapeutic touch to alter how the brain stores difficult memories, de-linking the painful, negative emotions so we can deal with those memories in a more positive way.

Early in the programme we define what you want to achieve through the therapy sessions and we use this to measure our progress as we move through the process.

Most programmes are typically five sessions lasting over a two month period. The first two sessions are weekly and the remainder slightly further apart. This gets you up to speed quickly with the techniques that you will be using with enough time to put them into practice between sessions. 

You are fully supported by me throughout this process and I am available by phone and email to provide any help or guidance you need.

Following each session I send you an email recapping all of the new techniques we covered together with supporting information and links.

As we move through the programme, we look at how things are progressing. In nearly all cases we start to see positive results after two or three sessions. Towards the end of the programme we decide how to move forward thereafter; more often than not, moving into a post therapy care phase.

Post Therapy Care

Having completed the Therapy Programme you will be equipped with the core tools and techniques needed to manage the anxiety and stress that was causing your difficulties and you will have a set of transferable skills that you can use when faced with any future challenges.

You will have all of my emails outlining the techniques and the work we have completed together as a reference for the future.

I am available to you for phone and email support if needed and should we decide that it might be useful to do a follow on session for any reason then we can book one of those at the same rate as we agreed for the therapy programme. For  complex or more structured on-going support requirements I offer a Beyond Therapy Aftercare Programme.

Beyond Therapy Aftercare

For existing or previous clients, the Beyond Therapy Aftercare Programme builds on the therapeutic support from your initial programme and offers support on any number of levels. It could be helping to cement these new, healthier habits in place as permanent lifestyle changes, evolving those techniques to deal with new problems when they arise or building on these new abilities to make your life as fulfilling, meaningful and joyful as possible. Whatever the driver, we can work towards defining a tailored programme to support you.
