About Lorraine

Lorraine Ballintine is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. Lorraine focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression.

Her sessions aim to be calm and non-judgemental. Lorraine listens closely and encourages people to put feelings into words. She helps clients look at relationship and intimacy-related issues, career worries and coping with life changes in a clear, practical way.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation is shaped by the client. Lorraine offers a supportive space where people set the pace and choose what to discuss. This is helpful for issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment fears, and feelings of emptiness.

She also works with people facing body image worries, caregiver stress, commitment or control issues, and the emotional effects of domestic violence and family problems. Practical priorities like motivation, confidence and impulsivity are discussed in straightforward terms so clients can try things out between sessions. Sessions include talking through options and planning small steps forward.

Lorraine supports people as they try new ways of coping and make sense of difficult experiences. The aim is to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day life and make decisions that suit them.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred counselling online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens attentively and follows the person’s lead so the conversation stays relevant to their priorities. This approach supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and responses to trauma.

The focus is on understanding feelings and building on personal strengths rather than teaching fixed techniques. Lorraine will work collaboratively to decide whether this way of working fits your needs and goals, and she will adapt the pace and focus as you go. Finding the right approach is part of the work together, and shared planning helps guide each step.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are useful for a closer face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic process ongoing.
