About us
Hi I’m Lorna, firstly I want you to know that you don’t have to have your stuff together before you come to me.
I’m a person-centred counsellor, and I believe you should be able to walk into the room exactly as you are – not neatly tied in a bow, not with your story rehearsed, and definitely not with all the answers.
I’m warm, curious and informal. I want our sessions to feel like a space where you can actually breathe, rather than another place where you feel you have to perform or get things ‘right’. I’m interested in you – your story, your experiences, what makes you tick and the things that have shaped you.
I want to hear the real stuff. The good, the bad and the ugly. The things you’ve never said aloud. The anger, the tears, the rage, the confusion, the swearing, the laughter and all the completely inappropriate moments – all of it.
You don’t need to make yourself smaller, tidier or easier for me to understand you.
Maybe you feel lost. Maybe life has knocked you sideways and you don’t know which way is up anymore. Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same patterns and can’t figure out why. Maybe you simply know that something needs to change but you don’t know where to start.
That’s where we begin!
I see you more like a puzzle – not sure where to start, occasionally missing a few pieces yet completely unique to you. I’m a problem solver by nature, so I’ll get curious with you. We can look at the pieces together, make sense of what you’re carrying, and explore the parts that might have been buried, forgotten or overlooked.
Counselling isn’t about me having all the answers it’s about helping you to discover yours.
You don’t need to arrive polished. Just arrive.

Member organisations *
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.
