About Lorna Wilson

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor who understands how hard the first step toward support can be, and she appreciates that taking that step takes courage. She trained after experiencing the positive impact counselling had in her own life and went on to complete a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling. She is accredited with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings 19 years of professional experience to her practice.

She has worked with adults, young people, and children in a variety of settings, helping clients address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, bereavement and loss, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, self-compassion, workplace problems, addictions, trauma and abuse, and a range of intimacy and life-stage concerns. Her practice also includes support for caregiving stress, midlife transition, parenting challenges, and multicultural or discrimination-related concerns.

Lorna’s core approach is person-centered, focusing on building a trusting therapeutic relationship even within time-limited settings so that clients can explore their concerns without judgement. She aims to offer warmth and a calm space where people can develop strategies, deepen their understanding of personal patterns, and work toward greater fulfillment. She values collaboration and respects each person’s pace, and she remains committed to supporting clients through change and healing.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a more meaningful life, while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being driven by them. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that feel stuck.

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead. This approach supports self-exploration, self-compassion, and improved relationships, and is useful for a wide range of concerns including grief, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to bring attention to the present moment and to respond to emotions with greater calm and clarity. It can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, sleep problems, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorna collaborates with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the focus of sessions as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to access support across different locations. Registered professionals can use these formats to provide ongoing support, short-term focused work, or a blend that suits the individual.
