Lorna Wilson , BACP

Lorna Wilson is a seasoned counsellor based in the United Kingdom who appreciates how hard it can be to take the first step toward seeking support. She offers a warm, nonjudgemental space where people can explore stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges, parenting difficulties, career concerns, and other life changes.

She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and is an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapy (MBACP), reflecting formal training and professional affiliation. Over 19 years of practice, she has worked with adults, young people, and children across varied settings, helping clients navigate bereavement, low self-compassion, family and work relationship problems, anger management, and adjustment issues.

Her core approach is person-centered, focusing on developing trust and a collaborative therapeutic relationship that supports clearer understanding and practical strategies for change. She also draws on complementary methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed work as appropriate to each person's needs. Lorna aims to provide warmth and a respectful space for exploration, helping people to become more fulfilled and to build resilience. She welcomes contact from those ready to begin the process of change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can support those dealing with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathetic, nonjudgemental relationship in which the therapist reflects and supports the client's own capacity for insight and growth. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating personal challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering tools to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during stress or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lorna works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to access support from different locations.
