Lorna Wilson, BACP

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor with 19 years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and midlife challenges. She welcomes enquiries from people wrestling with depression, anger, addictions and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Lorna speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, and she is listed with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

Lorna trained with a postgraduate diploma in counselling and moved into practice after seeing how counselling helped her own life. She uses a person-centred approach, which means she aims to offer warmth and a non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on building trust and on helping people find clarity about choices and next steps.

Her work often combines practical techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions can include short exercises that help with day-to-day coping, alongside talking that looks at values and long-term goals. Lorna also draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurt is getting in the way of moving forward.

Many people come to her wanting straightforward strategies to manage sleep, eating, parenting or work pressures. She also supports those dealing with prejudice, multicultural concerns and the strain of caregiving. Lorna aims to help people feel more able to make decisions about money, career direction and life purpose.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action that fits their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and explores what matters most to them. That style supports people who need time to find clarity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and help with stress, sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. The process is collaborative and open to adjustment as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins and giving flexibility around work or caregiving schedules. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings for their session or opt out of video if they prefer a simpler phone conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and solution-focused tasks so they work over distance.
