Lorna Wilson

Lorna Wilson BACP offers supportive counselling for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and relationship strains. She also helps with grief, depression, addictions and issues around self-esteem. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel heard and clearer about their next steps.

Lorna trained as a counsellor and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has 19 years of experience working in a range of settings and with many different life problems.

Her main way of working is person-centred. That means sessions start from what matters most to the person and build trust at a comfortable pace. She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused work to suit individual needs.

In sessions she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their difficulties. Practical strategies and clearer understanding are offered alongside emotional support. Lorna pays attention to everyday pressures like parenting, work stress and caring responsibilities.

Clients have consulted her about issues such as intimate and family problems, communication difficulties, midlife changes and multicultural concerns. She also works with people facing burnout, compassion fatigue or struggles with self-harm and recovery. Lorna welcomes people who want to explore change and find more balance in life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports identifying personal values and taking small steps towards a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression and anger. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building trust; the therapist follows the person’s pace and helps them feel understood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce rumination and improve coping with stress and painful emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lorna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together what methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Since specific session formats are not listed in her biography, please confirm current online session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use online appointments to help people maintain progress alongside everyday commitments.
