About Lorna

Lorna Harrison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Lorna focuses on helping people take the first steps toward change and greater wellbeing.

Her work is grounded in client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each person's pace. In sessions she encourages honest talk about stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and anger.

Lorna offers help with life transitions such as career changes, coping with illness and end-of-life matters, and workplace or communication problems. There is also an emphasis on parenting strains, compassion fatigue and the challenges of managing ADHD alongside daily life. She aims to respond to the whole situation rather than focus on a single symptom.

In practical terms, sessions involve talking through current struggles, reflecting on patterns, and trying out small changes to see what helps. Lorna works to empower people to make decisions that suit their values and responsibilities. She guides rather than directs, helping clients find solutions that fit their lives.

People who prefer a calm, person-centred approach are likely to find her style accessible. Her practice is described with straightforward language so worried parents and busy adults can quickly understand what to expect.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Lorna uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, helps clarify feelings, and follows the client’s lead to decide what to focus on. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and relationship concerns.

Client-centred work aims to make people feel heard and understood rather than being told what to do. Together the therapist and client explore small, practical changes and plan manageable steps. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process and the counsellor will help find what fits the person’s needs and goals.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, remove travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to attend from familiar surroundings and can be useful when arranging support around work, childcare or medical appointments.
