About Lorna

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor with 19 years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief, anger, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues and problems with eating or sleeping. She warmly welcomes enquiries from people worried about self-esteem, parenting strain or coping with life changes.

Lorna trained in counselling and holds a BACP membership, which is listed as BACP. She draws on person-centred ways of working to build trust and a safe space for exploring what matters to each person.

Background and approach

Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on listening and understanding before moving to practical steps. In sessions she blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people notice what matters and try small, useful changes. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting present life.

Lorna aims to keep things simple and tailored to each person’s needs. She has worked across a range of settings with adults, young people and children, helping them address bereavement, workplace stress and family tensions. Over nearly two decades she has supported people through midlife questions, financial worries and issues linked to prejudice or discrimination.

If someone is unsure where to begin, she encourages a first step of describing current struggles and goals so a plan can be agreed. Lorna’s approach emphasises clear communication, practical strategies and building on strengths to help people move forward.

How Lorna works online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what really matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement, giving people space to talk through their concerns and find their own answers. It can help when someone needs an empathic, steady relationship to feel understood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations with less struggle, and can be useful for stress, sleep problems and emotional regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine techniques as progress unfolds. This is a shared process that begins with a conversation about what the client hopes to achieve. For practicalities, please confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also allow people to use mindfulness practices between sessions and apply strategies in everyday settings, so progress carries over into normal routines.
