About Lorna

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor with 19 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. She welcomes enquiries from people struggling with relationship issues, anger, addictions, self-esteem, parenting strains and career or life-change concerns. Lorna uses straightforward language and a calm presence to help people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.

She trained in counselling and holds a BACP accreditation, which she uses alongside many years of practice.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and person-centred, aiming to build trust quickly so conversations can feel safe and honest. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on practical ways to cope day to day. Lorna draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurt is affecting current life, together with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to create short-term goals and steady progress. In sessions she offers space to talk without judgement and works collaboratively to develop strategies that fit each person’s life. That can include breathing and grounding skills, noticing unhelpful patterns, and small experiments to test different ways of coping.

Lorna provides remote work across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English. She has supported clients with bereavement, post-traumatic stress, multicultural concerns, self-harm thoughts, and compassion fatigue. Her practical aim is to help people find clearer direction and more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lorna uses a mix of trauma-focused work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people whose past experiences affect their day-to-day life. Trauma-focused therapy helps people notice how earlier hurt shows up now and develop ways to reduce its impact. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying what matters, and taking small steps towards a more valued life.

She also uses client-centred listening and mindfulness in sessions to create space for honest reflection. Finding the right approach is collaborative - she will discuss different methods and tailor the work to a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single route from the start.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and location while keeping focus on practical coping and steady progress.
