Lorna Wilson, BACP

Lorna Wilson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger or low mood. She supports those facing relationship strain, addiction concerns, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties. She also helps with sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, career worries and questions about self-worth and life purpose. Lorna trained as a counsellor and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, listed as BACP. She draws on 19 years of experience working with a wide range of personal challenges. Her main way of working is person-centred. That means she aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and feel heard. Sessions focus on building trust, exploring what matters most and finding practical steps that fit each person’s life. She also uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and clarify values. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are affecting current day-to-day life. Lorna aims to help people develop new understanding and useful strategies. She encourages self-compassion and realistic change rather than quick fixes. If you are ready to take a next step, she offers a clear starting process to match you with the right support.

How Lorna’s approaches fit with online counselling

Person-centred work focuses on listening and building trust. In practice this means the counsellor gives space for people to tell their story and respond with warmth and empathy, which helps when dealing with grief, relationship worries or low self-esteem.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action based on what matters most. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and ease anxiety. Both can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and day-to-day needs guide how sessions proceed.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, and can reduce time spent on travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that better match a busy routine. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest the most appropriate way to meet based on what a person needs and hopes to achieve.
