About me

Hello and a warm welcome to this page

My name is Lorna and I am a qualified cognitive behavioural therapist and groupwork facilitator.

If life seems hard just now, I would like to offer you a safe, accepting space, where we can work together to explore what is troubling you. CBT is an evidence-based therapy which can help you to overcome negative thinking patterns and reduce symptoms of anxiety or low mood, while increasing your sense of self-worth

I have worked within the social care sector for over twenty-five years, supporting people both in times of crisis and when they are struggling to make sense of their lives. It would be a privilege to work alongside you in your journey of self-discovery and improved emotional wellbeing.

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.
