Lorna Thompson, MSc, MBACP

About me

I have many years of experience working with people who are suffering. Sharing difficult feelings and experiences within a confidential space can help to shift perspectives, alter how you feel about things and open up possibilities.

Over the years, I have helped clients with the following issues:

• Relationship difficulty/breakdown
• Despair, loneliness and isolation
• Depression and feelings of hopelessness
• Anxiety
• Coping with chronic illness
• Feelings of not being able to move forwards
• Low self-worth

Much of how I work is underpinned by a belief in the uniqueness of each person and how they experience the world and others around them. In therapy, this individuality and any issues that have arisen, can be explored with support and care.The relationship between therapist and client is a crucial aspect of the therapeutic process and is in part what allows the thinking and the feelings that arise, to be dealt with in new ways.We can decide together whether what is needed is a brief intervention for a current life event, crisis or situation, or whether longer term work might be helpful.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within their ethical framework for good practice.

I work in West London, W4, in a therapeutic space that is easily accessible by public transport; there is also pay-and-display parking nearby.
