Lorna Wilson, BACP

Lorna Wilson is a compassionate counsellor who recognises how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking support and thanks people for considering her profile. She trained as a counsellor after experiencing the positive impact therapy can have and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling as well as accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), indicating formal professional membership and training.

With 19 years' experience as a qualified counsellor, she has worked with adults, young people, and children across a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, anger management, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, self-compassion, and difficulties in family and work relationships. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred model that prioritises building trust and a collaborative therapeutic relationship so clients can explore issues openly and develop practical strategies to feel more fulfilled and make sense of their lives.

Lorna aims to offer warmth and a non-judgemental space where people can reflect, gain clarity, and work toward change at their own pace. She values the privilege of witnessing the positive differences that counselling can bring and looks forward to supporting those ready to take the next step.

Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space in which the client is supported to explore their experience and discover their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and working through emotional struggles.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that help reduce reactivity and increase present-moment coping. It can assist with anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will be explored collaboratively. Lorna works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, support ongoing work between sessions, and allow clients and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care regardless of geographic distance.
