Loretta Rowe, NCPS

Loretta Rowe holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and has three years of clinical experience supporting people across a range of emotional and relational difficulties. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, and she also supports those seeking motivation and confidence building.

She specialises in working with people who have experienced domestic abuse and provides counselling for young adults aged 18 to 24. In addition, she has experience delivering community-based support for people with neurodivergence, helping them navigate everyday challenges and build coping strategies.

Loretta practises from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that each person is the expert and creator of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to overcome current challenges. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and offers supportive, practical guidance for those taking that first step.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Loretta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to support people working through a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, low mood, and relationship stresses. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact, and it can be particularly helpful for people recovering from abuse. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Loretta works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow people to access licensed professionals from the location that suits them best.
