Well, what can I say ! Lorna is one very special, talented lady. I carried family baggage about for over 50 years and at some points in my life it was quite overwhelming. Late 2023 I decided to take a last ditch attempt to put my past behind me. What a journey it was! Lorna had this special ability to listen and deep dive into my past with the most amazing life changing results. Sometimes it was sad and sometimes I was angry. She taught me mindfulness and coping mechanisms which again have been life changing. Sometimes when I left her after a session I could even smell smells from my childhood, spooky but true . I could go on for ever about my journey in life but thanks to Lorna it’s all in the past. I will be forever be grateful for her skills, understanding and pure professionalism. She is one absolutely amazingly talented individual.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Lorna.

Lorna is a highly professional individual who made me feel at ease when unpacking some difficult personal information. This allowed her to establish what my needs were immediately getting to work.

My outcome had been a very positive one, this far and I would go as far as to say she has helped me tremendously.

I would recommend her to anyone who needs a little help to move forward in their life.

Once again I can't thank Lorna enough ❤️

I worked with lorna over a number of months following a significant family bereavement. From the very first session I felt at ease and felt comfortable to begin my journey. Lorna was very supportive through the full process and was very patient with me. We adapted the treatment during the later stages to EMDR which was a game changer for me and definitely helped me through a really difficult time. I have recommended lorna to family friends and will continue to point people in her direction. Thanks Matt More...

This is the second time I’ve worked with Lorna and I have truly benefitted from these sessions. After suffering some PTSD from a traumatic experience Lorna suggested trying EMDR therapy and this has made a massive difference in my life and I would recommend this to anyone who has been through a traumatic experience. Lorna is caring and patient and I highly recommend working with her. More...

I am very grateful to have worked with Lorna, she has been a great help to me. I had been struggling with feelings of anxiety, overthinking and low self-esteem for a long time. Lorna helped me challenge my unhelpful negative thinking patterns and find coping strategies to deal with my feelings of anxiety. After a few months of working with Lorna I feel so much better and and confident within myself. I now know how to manage difficult emotions when they arise. She was very welcoming and made me feel at ease. Thanks Lorna More...

Lorna has been greatly helpful to guide me and solve my issues with anxiety, low self-esteem and childhood trauma.
Not only she has given me precious pieces of advice, but also she has provided me with the tools to have a clearer understanding of myself and of my behaviours.
I would highly recommend her. She has significantly changed the way I lead my private and social life, with a brighter view on my future. I am extremely grateful to her.

I came to Lorna as I suffered a bereavement.
Lorna met me where I was every session and we took steps to strengthen my mental health.

She was attentive, gave me helpful guidance and I felt comfortable spending sessions with her.

Lorna was a fantastic counsellor to work with, she instantly brought me a calmness to my sessions and guided me through a very difficult period in my life. If it wasn’t for Lorna I am not sure where I would be at this point. She built my confidence back up and was very understanding to my feelings and worked at a pace that suited me. I will be forever grateful for the guidance she gave me. More...

6 September 2023

I have visited Lorna for a short while and in that time she helped me understand some of my more complicated feelings. I have a tendency to overthink and her straightforward approach helped me unpack these feelings and make more sense of what was there. I value many of the suggestions she made about why I might feel the way I do about myself and my life and hope that in knowing this better I will be more equipped to tackle tricky feelings. More...

19 August 2023

Hi would like to give Lorna a 5+ star review. I really enjoyed our meetings both online and also in person. The first time I met Lorna, I immediately felt a great trust in her with her caring and compassionate understanding of my personal situation. She gave me confidence to talk openly about how I was feeling during a difficult period in my life following the loss of several very close loved ones over a short period of time. The guidance and reasoning as to why I was feeling like I did and the advice Lorna gave me to get through the lows, focus on the positives and start to look to the future while cherishing lovely memories of the past was extremely valuable. I am truly thankful to Lorna. More...

4 August 2023

The sessions I had with Lorna were really helpful, particularly so as they started at a time when I was returning to work after a period of absence. Lorna’s ability to provide a sense of perspective and allow me to talk freely without judgement was invaluable. More...

23 May 2023

Working with Lorna helped me immeasurably when I was struggling to come to terms with a traumatic event. My sessions with her helped me to unpack my reaction and work toward having healthier responses to my continuing thoughts around the event. I am functioning so much better- having the time and the space to speak to an objective neutral party has been the absolute best thing I have done for my mental health and general well-being. I would highly recommend Lorna. More...

23 May 2023

Lorna was incredibly understanding and talking things through with her over several sessions has helped me enormously. To have a qualified third party to offer support, direction and guidance has been very valuable. Thanks Lorna.

22 May 2023

Lorna helped me through a very difficult period in my life and I'm massively grateful for her support, guidance and kindness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lorna to anyone seeking counselling / therapy. We did a mixture of Zoom / in-person appointments, which worked really well for me. This included person-centred and EMDR therapy, which helped me immensely with the symptoms I was experiencing. Thank you again Lorna. More...

18 May 2023

Lorna was very helpful and supportive suggesting strategies and generally a helpful listener. Also seeing both sides of situations. Would recommend to anyone.

18 April 2023

Lorna was a pleasure to work with. She helped me to understand source of issues and how to overcome them. She challenged me to move out of my comfort zone, recognise where I was placing barriers and remove them. Working with her has helped me move forward in myself and realtionships. More...

24 November 2022

It was a pleasure and indeed a huge help speaking with Lorna. She was an attentive listener, retained the things I had previously discussed and showed genuine interest in my situation.
Lorna gave me a lot of coping strategies and had a very good way of helping me take a step back and see the bigger picture.
Thanks to Lorna I am much better equipped psychologically to face challenges that my recovery will throw up.

Lorna helped me feel very comfortable and supported. I would recommend her thoroughly to anybody!

Lorna is amazing and has honestly helped me in so many ways. She’s clear and concise and is always able to offer sound advice. She’s able to help you understand your problems much clearer and helps you to reach a better understanding about it all. Along with her warm and welcoming personality she brings a truly caring nature to each session. I couldn’t recommend her enough. More...

2 October 2022

I was very fortunate to be able to attend face to face sessions with Lorna during lockdown. Lorna created a warm, welcoming, homely environment where I felt comfortable and at ease. She acted as an excellent sounding board to help me make sense of my experience and also as a guide to help me dig deep and get to the core of my issues, layer by layer. During this process she gave me CBT techniques to help me manage better in my daily life. I’m so grateful for my sessions with Lorna as they’ve set me firmly on the path to recovery and towards a much better quality of life. More...

26 September 2022

Lorna really helped me to reflect on my thoughts and feelings, and figure out where they were coming from. Her advice was so useful and made a huge impact in making me feel calmer and more in control. The hints and tips she gave weren't difficult; in fact they seemed so obvious! But when you're head feels so muddle, having someone calm and understanding, like Lorna, provide that clarity...positive change happens :) More...

31 August 2022

I approached Lorna for help with anxiety and other issues at a difficult time of life. She offered kind and patient support, useful advice and practical tools that have helped me manage my mental health in a positive way. I wish I had contacted her sooner and very much appreciated the chance to talk in face-to-face sessions rather than online. More...

20 August 2022

Lorna has been an excellent therapist, very understanding and offered lots of different therapeutic techniques, had appointment times which fit well with my changing schedule, and was happy to do sessions via Zoom if I was away/during COVID restrictions. I have recommended her to friends who felt they needed help with their mental health, and would do so again. More...

9 August 2022

I found the sessions with Lorna very beneficial. She helped me look back at my childhood to better understand some of my issues I was facing and how to deal with these better. Lorna helped me to understand a lot about myself that I hadn’t realised before. I was always made to feel comfortable during these sessions and Lorna made me feel at ease when opening up about difficult emotions. More...

9 June 2022

During a very difficult time in my life and my anxiety became unbearable to live with, I decided to go for counselling. I had been to others before but never really got into why i had such constant anxiety. With Lorna's help I understand the reasons i have felt so bad for so long and i have worked to completely change my life, I feel like a different person, have more confidence, I am happier within myself and have the tools to move forward in my life. More...

Lorna is outstanding. I seen Lorna during a extremely difficult time of my life, I could talk to her about anything without feeling judged. She taught me different coping mechanisms which have helped me so many times. I am at a better place in my life today and Lorna played a huge part in that. I couldn’t recommend her enough! More...

9 May 2022

Lorna was of huge support through our counselling sessions. I valued her warmth and openness, as well as ability to challenge my own assumptions or thinking. Lorna naturally made me feel comfortable and I appreciated her being forthright at times with her own view and advice. Thank you. More...

was seeing lorna for some difficult times dealing with every day stuff but after some months with a appointment a week she taught me how to deal with my problems etc would highly recommend if it wasn’t for her god knows where ad be thanks again marc .

21 May 2021

Lorna was a great support to me during a very hard time in my life. I initially went to see Lorna after experiencing a sexual assault, which in turn intensified a lot of issues I was already feeling about myself such as low self esteem and abandonment issues. I found Lorna very easy to talk to and exactly the support I needed at that time.
Through discussions with Lorna, I began to get a bit of myself back that had been lost following on from that trauma, and in a matter of months I was more at peace with what had happened to me. We then began working more closely with CBT techniques; which combined with the talks we had in our sessions really helped me. Lorna really creates a non judgmental and calm space where I immediately felt able to share my feelings with her in. I know that I would not be in the position that I am today had it not been with Lorna's help. Thank you!

17 May 2021

I have given Lorna 5 stars she has helped me overcome so many worries in life and in the work place, she is a very good listener.
Lorna was very understanding and non-judgemental. I am in a much better place and I cannot thank her enough for all her help, guidance and support. I would highly recommend Lorna’s service.

Lorna is a knowledgable, friendly counsellor with an extremely open and approachable manner. She helped me work through a range of anxiety and emotional problems stemming from a historical trauma, always keeping me at the centre of our approach.

Lorna is an excellent counsellor who has really helped me through the most difficult and challenging time of my life. Lorna immediately put me at ease and I felt so comfortable speaking to her about personal and upsetting issues. She showed great empathy and understanding and gave useful and practical advice that has helped me tremendously. Lorna helped me to make sense of the situation I was in. I constantly used to doubt myself but Lorna has helped me to gain confidence in myself and my decisions. Thanks to Lorna’s great support I’m feeling so much stronger and more positive. Thank you Lorna! More...

Counselling

I came to Lorna with low mood and low self esteem, she helped me get to the root of my issues by listening and validating how I felt. Lorna recommended and provided various helpful resources which allowed me to take things into my own hands between sessions. I’d really recommend Lorna’s services to anyone who’s struggling with the same issues I was and I can’t thank her enough for all the help and support she has given me!!! More...

12 March 2021

This was my first experience of counselling and Lorna helped me feel safe and comfortable. Her approach combined counselling with practical CBT exercises which was exactly what I needed. I am now much more prepared for feelings of anxiety and depression and they are occurring less frequently. I would highly recommend choosing Lorna to support you on your journey. More...

2 March 2021

Lorna was extremely helpful when I was at a frighteningly low ebb. Through her sessions she helped me establish a sense of perspective and helped me develop coping tools, confronting and dealing with past trauma.

19 February 2021

Lorna was absolutely first class, I can't commend her high enough. She really helped me through a very difficult time of emotional trauma. She seemed to know exactly when to listen but also when to ask questions that made you reflect and explore things through a different lens. She is warm, full of understanding, non-judgemental, empathetic and a consummate professional. I would fully recommend Lorna to anyone seeking support through a personal challenge. Thank you Lorna you helped me through a dark time in my life. More...

Q&As

I feel extremely privileged to accompany my clients on their journeys of self discovery and to facilitate their progress towards fulfillment in their lives. Furthermore, I gain a great sense of pride in my clients in what they achieve through counselling. Also, watching the process as they grow in confidence and blossom in their lives where they can finally put their pain in the past. I also enjoy the challenge at each client brings and gaining a wide understanding of the depth of who they are as a person and what is important to each individual.

Having graduated I was initially employed in a organisations but I felt frustrated by the bureaucracy as clients would only be be offered a limited amount of sessions leaving clients feeling rushed and perhaps this impacted on the amount depth they could achieve. Furthermore, organisations may only offer counselling to deal with a particular issues of their life when in facts many issues are often intertwined. So it is not surprising it did not meet the clients individual needs ! As counsellor I feel it is imperative to address the bigger picture . Combined with these huge obstacles they often endured long waiting lists and major limitations in flexibility. Having endured much bureaucracy I decided I wanted to offer my clients the best possible care and very much strived to meet their individual needs. So, I started my own counselling company in order to achieve this and feel very fortunate in being able to work this way.

Since starting university and despite enduring the challenges of bureaucracy which I feel was a learning curve which greatly increased my own self awareness as to who I was as a counsellor and is what is important as to what I can want to offer counsellor. ! Since then I have never looked back and am highly committed to my role as a counsellor. Furthermore, I feel another factor in making a positive change to my clients well being is having a strong believe that every client has the ability to achieve to grow as a person and achieve happiness regardless of the challenges of their psychological disturbances. Alongside this, I very much give my self as a person without facade where empathy, genuineness and understanding are at the very at the heart of my practice. I feel another essential factor in my practice is to be informed in research, theory and new approaches and therefore defecate much time and energy into reading and training to offer the best possible service.
