About me
Hi, I'm Lorraine, I am a fully qualified person centred counsellor. My work experience is varied over many years within different settings, which include working in the nhs within cancer care and the hospice setting as well as working as a person centred counsellor in private practice for 3 years.
In the counselling session I will use counselling skills to help you discover your strengths and inner resources to work through what it is that has brought you to counselling. I work with a variety of issues, often with loss which can be of any kind, such as loss of role, friendship, confidence as well as a bereavement or a life changing experience. It may be anxiety you are struggling with, menopause symptoms or loss of identity. I provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts using person centered skills. My back ground is working in the caring sectors as a nurse for many years and now as a counsellor. In the therapy room we can look together at what you are coping with. Sometimes there is not a solution or a fix and you may want to share your emotion and thoughts in the safe space that I provide.
It is important that you find the right therapist for you and that you check I have the right skill set to meet your needs. Our first session is half price at £25 for an hour and we can complete the assessment on this first session together and work out if I am the right therapist for you.
You can contact me from this site just email me to discuss your needs and arrange an initial session.
"What can I expect from my first session?"
In the first session we will do some basic paperwork around contact information and privacy. I'll explain in more detail how I work as you settle in and I'll ask what has brought you to counselling. You only need to tell me whatever you feel comfortable telling me and we'll look at what you might like to get out of our counselling sessions. Following sessions are £50 for 60 minutes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified experienced therapist with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I am a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP and I operate within their Ethical Framework for Good Practice to provide my clients with the best service possible.
I work in private practice with clients who have a variety of reasons for accessing support such as grief, loss and life changing situations. I have experience with the older age group who are facing issues such as caring for some one with dementia or supporting them selves through change as well as experience with young adults managing stress and loss.
Member organisations
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
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
