She writes in a calm, straightforward way and invites people to begin by naming what feels hardest. Lorna aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

Background and approach
Across 19 years she has worked in a range of settings and with a variety of concerns, from low mood and anxiety to bereavement and anger. This experience shapes a practical, steady approach. Lorna's core model is client-centred therapy.
She focuses on building trust and a genuine working relationship so people can speak freely without judgement. Sessions are designed to help people make sense of their life, notice patterns, and try out new ways of coping. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with immediate problems and to develop day-to-day strategies.
For trauma-related and complex concerns she draws on trauma-focused methods to support recovery in a paced way. Lorna keeps language simple and uses exercises that fit into busy family life. People describe the work as warm and practical, with space to reflect and plan next steps.
Lorna welcomes conversations about parenting stress, caregiver strain, communication problems and life changes, and aims to tailor the pace and focus to each person’s needs.

How Lorna’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at values and small action steps to move towards a more meaningful life. Online ACT can help when feelings like anxiety, depression or parenting stress get in the way of daily goals. Client-Centred Therapy gives people space to be heard and accepted; online sessions simply carry the same focus on listening, warmth and building a trusting relationship. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and sensations without reacting, which can reduce overwhelm and improve sleep or focus.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try different ideas and adjust the focus if something does not fit. This helps match methods to practical needs such as managing grief, addressing trauma reactions or building better communication skills at home.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls work well for longer, conversational sessions that include visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection or keeping momentum between longer meetings. These options make it easier to find a way of working that fits family life and changing schedules.
