About Lorna
Lorna Wilson is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleeping difficulties and relationship strain. She thanks readers for taking the first step and acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out for help. Her approach aims to make talking about painful things a little easier and more practical.
She trained in counselling and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling. She is a BACP member, which she lists as BACP. She has 19 years of experience working with adults on issues such as depression, grief, anger, self-esteem and addictions. She also helps with parenting concerns, career worries and life changes.
Her starting point is a person-centred style that focuses on building trust and a working relationship. Sessions give time to talk things through without judgement. From that foundation she uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and try small changes.
Lorna has worked in a range of settings where time was often limited, so she is used to helping people prioritise the issues that feel most urgent. This includes supporting people who have experienced trauma or abuse, and those coping with caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
Her practice is warm and straightforward. She offers a calm space for people to reflect, make sense of difficult feelings and practise new ways of coping. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s matching and booking steps to arrange a first session.
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and persistent worry about sleep. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and stress and to improve rest patterns. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive listening space where people can talk through issues and begin to feel understood and calmer.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. They can adjust the plan as work progresses so techniques match the issue and the person's day-to-day life.
The profile does not list session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, remove travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful when someone prefers not to use video, needs a lower-bandwidth option, or wants to schedule sessions around work or caregiving duties. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help people translate therapeutic work into practical changes that fit everyday routines.
