About Lorna
BACP accredited counsellor with 19 years' experience, practising in the United Kingdom. Lorna Wilson works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, addictions and trauma-related issues. She also supports people with intimacy problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career and money worries, and compassion fatigue.
Lorna trained as a counsellor and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. She uses a person-centred approach as her core model. That means she focuses on building a trusting counselling relationship and listening carefully to what matters to each person.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques and trauma-focused work. In practice this can mean helping someone notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, practise present-moment awareness, and clarify personal values to guide everyday choices.
Sessions are aimed at helping people develop clearer thinking and practical strategies. Lorna has worked in a range of settings and with adults, young people and children, supporting issues such as bereavement, relationship problems, workplace stress and low self-worth.
Her style is straightforward and relational. She helps people talk through what is happening, identify manageable steps and review what works. People who want to arrange a first session are asked to use the counselling service buttons to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy centres the relationship between counsellor and client, using listening and reflection to help people make sense of their situation and decide on next steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention skills to reduce rumination and support better sleep and emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorna will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences, and they will review what helps as sessions progress. The process is collaborative and pragmatic. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and offer an alternative when a face-to-face visit is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions and everyday life.Areas of expertise
