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.
