Online Counselling Across the UK
ADHD | Autism | AuDHD | Anxiety | Burnout | Emotional Wellbeing

Perhaps you've spent years feeling different, trying to meet everyone else's expectations, or wondering why things that seem straightforward for other people can feel so overwhelming.

Maybe you're navigating a late ADHD or autism diagnosis, struggling with anxiety or burnout, or simply exhausted from holding everything together.

Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve to feel heard, understood and accepted.

Hello, I'm Lorraine.

I'm an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, an NCPS Accredited member and BACP registered.

I believe in being human first and therapist second.

My approach is warm, genuine, down-to-earth and sometimes humorous. Therapy doesn't have to feel like a formal, clinical appointment. For me, it's about having an honest conversation with someone who genuinely wants to understand your experiences.

ADHD, autism and neurodivergence

I have a particular interest in working with autistic adults, people with ADHD and those who identify as AuDHD.

Whether you've received a diagnosis later in life, are exploring the possibility of being neurodivergent, or have always known you experience the world differently, you're welcome here. A formal diagnosis isn't necessary.

I understand how exhausting masking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm and constantly trying to fit into other people's expectations can become.

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming. I don't believe you need fixing, and I don't expect you to fit into a particular way of doing therapy.

We can work collaboratively, at your pace, in a way that respects your individual needs and communication style.

More than neurodiversity

Alongside ADHD and autism, I support adults experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, chronic pain and long-term health conditions.

I also have specialist training in supporting people navigating perimenopause, menopause and the emotional challenges surrounding bariatric surgery.

My own experiences of living with chronic illness have deepened my understanding of how physical health can affect our emotional wellbeing, relationships and sense of identity.

A little about my background

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 13 years working within the London Ambulance Service and volunteered with Samaritans and SHOUT.

These experiences, alongside my counselling training and continued professional development, have shaped my belief that everyone deserves to have their story heard.

Online counselling throughout the UK

I offer individual online counselling for adults across the UK, allowing you to access therapy from a private, comfortable space that works for you.

Sessions start at £70, and I offer a free introductory telephone or online consultation so we can explore whether working together feels right.

You don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.

Just come as you are.

come as you are.

Alongside general counselling, I have undertaken specialist training in supporting neurodivergent adults, particularly those navigating ADHD, autism, AuDHD, late diagnosis and autistic burnout.

I also have a particular interest in the relationship between neurodivergence and hormonal changes, including perimenopause, menopause and PMDD.

My work with chronic illness includes supporting individuals living with fibromyalgia, hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and persistent pain. I recognise that the emotional impact of these conditions can sometimes be overlooked.

I have also completed specialist training in counselling bariatric clients before, during and after weight-loss surgery, including the emotional complexities of changing relationships with food, body image and identity.

My approach remains integrative, person-centred and neurodiversity-affirming, recognising that each person's experiences and therapeutic needs are individual.

• Individual counselling sessions:

  £70 for daytime appointments between 8am and 5pm.

  £75 for evening appointments after 6pm.

  I offer a free introductory telephone or online consultation for up to 15 minutes,  giving us the opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions and explore whether working together feels right.

  Insurance-funded sessions may be charged at a different rate due to additional administration requirements.

I offer online counselling to adults throughout the UK, providing accessible, flexible therapeutic support from the comfort of your own home.

Sessions take place via Teams, Google Meet or Theresea, with telephone counselling also available.

As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to each individual rather than expecting everyone to fit into a particular therapeutic model.

My practice is neurodiversity-affirming, with particular experience in supporting adults with ADHD, autism and AuDHD, including those exploring a possible diagnosis or navigating a diagnosis later in life.

I also support clients experiencing anxiety, burnout, disordered eating, chronic illness, persistent pain and the emotional challenges associated with perimenopause and menopause.

I recognise that communicating feelings isn't always straightforward, particularly for neurodivergent clients. We can work together to find an approach and pace that feels comfortable for you.

I offer a free introductory telephone or online consultation, giving us an opportunity to discuss what you're looking for and whether working together feels right.
