Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Lorraine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, build psychological flexibility, and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relationship patterns and early connection experiences that shape how people relate to others. This approach supports work on intimacy issues, family dynamics, and healing from abandonment or relational trauma.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and focus of change. It is well suited to building self-esteem, coping with grief, and recovering from difficult life events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Lorraine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and plans over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility that fits around work, family, and travel. These formats make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals and therapists regardless of location, helping clients maintain continuity of care and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
