1:1 Therapy
A space to slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself
Therapy can offer a place to pause, reflect and make sense of what you're experiencing, whether you know exactly what you want to work on or simply sense that something needs to change.
Our sessions are shaped around you and what feels most important at the time.
What can I bring to therapy?
You don't need a diagnosis, a clear explanation, or the “right” words.
You might arrive feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. You may be struggling with relationships, self-criticism, loss, burnout, addiction or a difficult transition. Or perhaps you simply know that something doesn't feel quite right.
You can bring whatever feels important to you. We can begin there and work out together what you need.
What are sessions like?
There isn't a script for therapy.
Some sessions may focus on something that has happened recently. At other times, we may notice a recurring pattern, relationship dynamic, belief or reaction that you'd like to understand more deeply. The session is always guided by you and what is important for you at that time.

Your first step
I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. This gives us a chance to chat briefly about what brings you here, answer any questions and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
How often will we meet?
There is no fixed number of sessions. Some people come for support around a particular issue, while others choose longer-term therapy.
What if I feel nervous about starting?
That's completely understandable. Talking to someone you don't know about personal experiences can feel daunting.
You don't need to arrive knowing what to say. The introductory call is simply a chance to meet, ask questions and get a sense of whether we can work well together.
Is everything I share confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is a very important part of therapeutic work.
There are limited circumstances in which confidentiality may need to be broken because of legal or ethical responsibilities, and these would be explained to you as part of our work together.
Reflections from people I have worked with
For many years, my body and my emotions had felt unsafe, and I had locked them away. I lived almost exclusively from my mind, which was vigilantly guarding what was safe to allow in. The impact this had on my health was disastrous, and when the cancer diagnosis came, I knew that there were things I had to look at. Along with the diagnosis, however, came guidance. Guidance towards finding the type of help I needed to do the work. This help came in the form of Lorraine. She provided me with the safety I needed to reopen access to my emotions little by little, and over time she has become a guide to my own inner world. Gently guiding me with both support and curiosity.
I remain convinced that this has helped me heal physically and also given me a calm that comes from believing I am learning the lesson the cancer was here to teach me.
I couldn't recommend Lorraine more highly for anyone embarking on this journey of self-discovery.
Wondering if therapy might be right for you?
