A space to reconnect with yourself
There are times in life when things can feel overwhelming, confusing, or simply difficult to carry on your own.
You may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, loss, low self-esteem, addictive patterns, or perhaps you simply have a sense that something isn't quite right.
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to have it all figured out.
Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel heard and begin to understand what may be happening beneath the surface — with compassion, curiosity and without judgement.
How I work
I believe therapy works best when you are able to be yourself...without needing to perform, explain everything perfectly, or know where to begin.
My approach is integrative, which means I don't work from a single method or assume that the same approach will suit everyone. Instead, our work develops around you: your experiences, your needs and what is most helpful as we go.
I bring warmth, curiosity and honesty to the therapeutic relationship, while creating space for us to notice and understand the patterns that may be shaping how you feel, relate and respond.
If you're wondering whether working together might feel right, we can begin with a free 15-minute conversation.
Sometimes, knowing something doesn't feel right is enough
You don't need a diagnosis, a label, or a perfectly formed explanation of what you're experiencing.
You might recognise...
- Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or as though you're carrying more than other people realise
- Being hard on yourself, even when you're doing your best
- Finding yourself caught in familiar patterns that are no longer helpful
- Struggling with boundaries, relationships, or feeling responsible for other people's needs
- Feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or not quite yourself
- Turning to ways of coping that once helped, but now feel difficult to change
- Carrying the effects of loss, illness, change or painful experiences — whether recent or long ago
Sometimes therapy begins simply with the feeling that something needs to change.
An approach shaped around you
No two people arrive with the same story, and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on different therapeutic perspectives while keeping you, rather than a particular technique or modality, at the centre of our work.
We may explore patterns, past experiences and the relationship between mind and body, always with curiosity and at a pace that feels manageable.
Compassionate Inquiry
Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Dr Gabor Maté, is one of the approaches that most deeply informs my work.
It invites us to look with curiosity rather than judgement at the beliefs, patterns and adaptations that may have developed through our experiences, and at how they may still be shaping life today.
For me, its value lies not in asking “What is wrong with me?” but in becoming curious about “What happened to me, what did I come to believe, and what might I need now?”
The Economics of Silence
A new book in preparation exploring financial abuse, silence and the experiences that can leave people questioning their own reality, choices and voice.

Are sessions online or in person?
I offer sessions both online and in person. Together, we can decide which feels most supportive for your needs, circumstances and of course, your location.
What can I bring to therapy?
Anything that feels difficult, confusing, painful, overwhelming, or simply hard to make sense of. You don't need a diagnosis, a clear reason, or the "right" words to begin. We start with whatever is important and present for you.
How do I know if we're a good fit?
The relationship is an important part of the process. A free introductory call gives us an opportunity to connect, explore what you're looking for, and see whether working together feels right for both of us.
What people have experienced from working with me
Throughout my time with Lorraine she has never rushed the treatment and has let me go at my own pace which has helped me get back on stage and do what I love. I owe her my career.
Her skills are extensive, her caring is genuine and her belief that you can ultimately help yourself is infectious.
I cannot recommend Lorraine highly enough — calm, gentle, empathetic and effective.
