Lorraine Trotman

I support individual adults and adolescents from my Practice in Balham, South West London.  

Throughout my working life, I have been involved in supporting, enabling and encouraging individuals to grow and change. Prior to training and qualifying as a Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I trained and worked as an Organisational  Psychologist.

I offer confidential face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy to help you gain a greater understanding of why you feel the way you do. I am trained to listen and offer a non-judgemental environment where you can talk through your problems and find ways of making choices to improve your quality of life.  I also offer online counselling services if you are unable to attend sessions.

I use a relational-integrative approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy. Literature has shown that the most important aspect for a successful therapy outcome is the relationship between the client and the therapist itself. Therefore, it is important to have an initial assessment session to ensure the relationship is beneficial for you.

I work with clients on an individual basis dealing with a wide range of issues. The length of time clients work with me varies according to the needs of each person and includes both longer term psychotherapeutic work as well as short term solution focused counselling. In broad terms, short term counselling will typically be 6 – 12 sessions whilst working psychotherapeutically at greater depth will take longer.

The fee for the initial assessment session is £80.

Thereafter, the fee for ongoing individual 50-minute sessions is £80 by bank transfer.

For Couples Counselling the fee is £120 for a 60 minute session and £150 for a 90 minute session.

I can offer my professional counselling services to people of all ages on a long or short-term face-to-face basis.  I have experience working in various settings including schools, GP surgeries and both charitable and private organisations.

I work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8am - 9pm.
