Lorraine Hobbs

I understand people as a whole; working with your mind, your body and your experiences to facilitate a more holistic, present and fulfilling life.

Talking with an experienced professional, who is not a family member or friend, can help you to understand the causes of your unhappiness, distress, and pain.
Maybe you are struggling with relationships issues, anxiety is stopping you from living or you are stuck in depression. Maybe life feels confusing, you are feeling lost and you are unable to make sense of it and of yourself.  Perhaps your world feels dangerous because of traumatic events or experiences. People come for many reasons. Being able to link feelings to patterns of behaviour which affect your relationships can enable you to make the changes you may need to lead a happier and fulfilling life.

I provide a safe and solid space for you to explore yourself and your difficulties in. I have a non-judgemental, accepting and empathic nature. I believe this assists others in feeling comfortable with me, enabling a trusting and congruent relationship to develop.

I am very aware how daunting and frightening it can be to make the decision to start therapy. I believe the key to successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I therefore consider that finding the right therapist for you is of upmost importance. 

Through our relationship you can gain a greater understanding of yourself, increasing self-esteem and confidence. This will give you the ability to have trust in you, make your own choices and find your own answers.

My expertise has cultivated my approach to establishing a safe and trusting environment, enabling us to explore your inner self, while also equipping you with techniques and resources to manage your symptoms, regulate your nervous system, and provide you with psychoeducation.

I have professional and personal experience with Neurodiversity, particularly ADHD and work with a trauma informed lens.  

I am incredibly passionate about working with young people; working one to one at this complex time can prove invaluable and really go a long way in preventing problems compounding later on in life. I have a lot of experience working with young people, working as a School Counsellor and as a Family and Parent Practitioner within secondary schools.

Please see my website www.newpaththerapy.co.uk to get to know me a little more.  I wish you all the very best.

My standard fee for a 50 minute session is £50.00 for an individual £60.00 for children and young people.
Concessionary spaces are full at the moment I’m afraid.
