Lorraine Stronach, NCPS

Lorraine Stronach works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression and major life changes. She writes simply and directly, and aims to make the first steps into counselling easier to take. Lorraine will listen, show respect, and respond without judgement.

She is credentialed NCPS, which indicates a recognised counselling registration in the UK. Lorraine has 18 years of professional experience and describes herself as an integrative counsellor. That means she draws on different approaches and tailors sessions to each person she meets.

In practical terms clients can expect a steady, person-centred space to talk through current problems. Lorraine uses techniques that may help with anxiety, mood difficulties and coping when life feels overwhelming. She also works on issues linked to relationships such as communication problems, separation and attachment difficulties.

Her wider focus areas include body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose. She also supports men who are facing typical midlife or identity concerns and those dealing with narcissistic dynamics in relationships.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person. Lorraine describes her role as supportive and respectful, helping people find clearer thinking and practical ways to cope as they work towards their goals.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help when trust, closeness or separation cause pain in adult relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and offers empathic listening to help people find their own answers and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works with current thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety, lift low mood and teach practical coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together with each person. The choice will reflect the client's needs, goals and preferences so the therapy feels like a good fit.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going while living far from a counsellor, and let sessions take place in settings that suit the individual's routine.
