Lorna Wilson , BACP

Lorna Wilson is a compassionate and experienced counsellor who supports people navigating stress, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, and other life challenges. With 19 years of practice, she has worked with adults, young people, and children to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger management, bereavement, loss, low self-esteem, family and work relationships, and issues around intimacy and parenting.

Her training includes a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling, a postgraduate qualification that underpins her clinical work. She is also an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy (MBACP), which reflects recognised professional standards in counselling practice. Lorna draws on a client-centered foundation to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, offering warmth, non-judgement, and a space where people can explore their experiences and develop practical strategies for change.

Working often within time-limited settings, she focuses on helping clients gain clarity, develop resilience, and find greater fulfillment. Lorna combines person-focused listening with approaches such as acceptance and commitment and mindfulness to support coping with life changes, career concerns, caregiver stress, trauma, and issues related to identity and discrimination. She welcomes the courage it takes to seek help and offers steady guidance for those ready to take the next step.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking practical steps toward a meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and struggles with motivation or life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship in which the person is given space to explore their feelings and find their own solutions - this approach works well for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and adjustment after loss. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, benefiting those coping with anxiety, anger, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorna collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge. This collaborative stance helps tailor therapy to what actually helps the individual.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit work, caregiving, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to connect regularly with licensed professionals and therapists, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access support from wherever the client is located.
