About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, relationship strain, anxiety and loss. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on what someone can do next.
Background and approach
Lorraine uses short, clear conversations to help people make sense of difficult feelings and decide on small steps forward. She brings 12 years of UK practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Lorraine blends different approaches to match the person she is working with. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with choices about pace and tools that suit each person.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, grief, addictions, low self-esteem and mood difficulties such as depression or bipolar. She also supports people managing life changes, career stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and needs related to ADHD or neurodiversity.
Lorraine draws on methods like cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred listening to address thinking patterns and emotional responses. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and the Gottman Method for couples work when relevant.
Sessions are available in English, Spanish and French. Lorraine aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space and adapts her approach to each person's culture and situation.
Practical coping strategies and achievable goals are prioritised so people can notice progress between sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Online sessions include short explanations of a few approaches she uses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, coping with life changes and issues that keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change mood and behaviour. It suits problems like low mood, anxiety and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating in close relationships.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress or new needs appear.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship and emotion work. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief reflections, written check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility in timing, pace and communication style while keeping the focus on practical steps and collaborative planning.
