About me

Welcome; I’m Lorain, a Person-Centred Counsellor.

If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply struggling with life, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and be understood.

At Client Care Counselling, I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where you can explore whatever is on your mind at your own pace.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, and I believe that being truly listened to in a trusting relationship can be a powerful part of healing and personal growth.

Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, low self-esteem, or major life changes, I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. My role is to support you, listen without judgment, and help you find clarity and direction in a way that feels right for you.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting. Taking that first step often takes courage, and I deeply respect the trust it takes to begin counselling. My aim is to offer a calm, caring, and supportive space where you feel comfortable to be yourself.

Who I Work With
I have experience supporting:

  • Young people, including those affected by trauma (I am qualified in child trauma counselling)
  • Clients with diagnosed or suspected ADH and other forms of neurodiversity
  • Adults, particularly women who have experienced significant hardship, including domestic abuse
  • Anyone who may be feeling overwhelmed, struggling emotionally, or needing a safe and caring environment to talk.

How I Work
Sessions are offered on a one-to-one basis and are tailored to your individual needs.

Together, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that feels comfortable for you. Whether you are looking for short-term support or a longer-term therapeutic relationship, my aim is to help you recognise your own strengths and inner resources for resilience, growth, and healing.

If you feel ready to take the next step, or if you simply have questions, please feel free to get in touch for an initial consultation.

Thank you for considering me as part of your journey. I look forward to supporting you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a trained Person-Centred Counsellor and level 5 child trauma diploma, I hold a CRB check, have professional insurance, and am a registered member of the BACP, working in alignment with the BACP framework.

I have experience counselling individuals who have survived domestic abuse, including physical, mental, and sexual abuse. I also have experience supporting clients dealing with suicidal tendencies or ideation, with a particular focus on men’s mental health.

I have experience working with young people and am trained in young persons trauma, enabling me to work effectively with teenagers who may be carrying trauma.

Above all, I provide a safe, confidential environment where clients can explore their concerns and work through their challenges with trust and support.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
