About me

Hi, my name is Lorain, I am a qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP.

I offer Person Centred counselling providing you with a safe confidential space to explore your concerns and feelings helping you to identify behaviours to help manage any problems or issues you may be encountering.

I offer 50 minutes sessions once a week for a series of up to 10 sessions over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp or telephone. Number of sessions can be discussed and changed to meet client’s needs.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am level 4 trained in Person Centred Counselling and studying my level 5 as part of my continued professional development.

I hold a CRB check, have insurance and am a member of the BACP operating in line with the BACP framework.

I have counselled people who have survived domestic abuse, physical, metal and sexual.

I also have experience in counselling clients who have suicidal tendencies or suicide ideation including experience in men’s mental health.

Of late I have been working with young adults and teenagers many if who are diagnosed or waiting diagnosis is ADHD or display signs of being neurodiversity.

I specialise working with ladies who are perimenopause and post-menopausal and would benefit from a listening ear.

I offer a safe space for all clients to talk through what is on their mind, offering support whilst they work through their problems, holding clients confidentiality and maintaining trust.

I am studying level 5 Child trauma and am enrolled on a level 5 CBT course enabling me to practice in these areas on completion.

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
