About me
Hi, I'm Lori. I became a therapist because I understand the impact of anxiety, trauma, and grief. Through my own journey of resilience and hope, I learned that healing is possible. I offer a warm, compassionate space for change and growth.
With over 19 years of experience, I have worked in a variety of settings, including private hospitals, the NHS, and private practice.
I spent seven years as a CBT therapist at the Priory Group, supporting adults in inpatient and day patient hospital settings. Here, I led individual and group therapy sessions focused on anxiety, OCD, and depression.
Additionally, I worked for four years as a psychotherapist with Nuffield Health, providing Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) to help employees manage stress, improve motivation, and foster healthy workplace relationships.
I am also a Clinical Hypnosis Practitioner with over six years of experience, specialising in treating anxiety.
My commitment to bereavement support continues through voluntary work at a local hospice.
My areas of specialism as a psychotherapist include anxiety, neurodiversity, trauma and grief.
Choosing a therapist for the first time can feel difficult, and taking the first step to get in touch is often the hardest part. Please feel free to call or email with any questions. Therapy involves sharing personal experiences, so it’s important that you feel comfortable and supported in a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
