Loraine Cairns - Registered MBACP (Accred); Member EMDR UK & Ireland
About me
I am an experienced therapist and am passionate about this profession. I work as a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, as an EMDR therapist, and as a Certified TRE® Provider. But the bottom line is I work with you, and the therapeutic relationship of trust and respect that we build underpins all that we do.
I draw on my extensive training to offer a bespoke therapeutic service, tailored to each client's needs and wishes. My integrative training is a thoughtful blend of respected theoretical approaches. At the centre of it is relationship – the relationship we have with our selves, others, and the world in which we live.
It may be that you have a clear idea of why you are considering counselling, EMDR or TRE®. Or perhaps you are wishing to explore a more general feeling you have, which is causing you concern, distress or just plain curiosity. I offer a safe and appropriate space for such exploration. This may be short-term and targeted or longer term and in more depth. Either way, counselling, EMDR and TRE® are all opportunities to take time for yourself; time to explore, discover, heal, change… and sometimes simply ‘be’ alongside your Self in the context of an ethical and professional relationship.

Member organisations
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.

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
