About Lorna
Lorna Wilson is a counsellor with 19 years of experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, anger, addictions, trauma and LGBT-related issues. Lorna aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space so people can talk through what matters to them and begin to feel more able to cope.
She trained to be a counsellor after experiencing the positive change therapy brought to her own life.
Background and approach
She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and is a BACP member. Lorna uses a person-centred style that focuses on building trust and understanding in the therapeutic relationship. In practice she combines person-centred work with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.
That means sessions often mix listening, gentle reflection and practical steps to try between meetings. The aim is to help people find clarity and move towards goals that feel meaningful. Sessions have been offered in a variety of time-limited and open-ended settings, so Lorna is used to helping people make progress in different circumstances.
She also works with issues like self-esteem, parenting strain, career worries and coping with life changes. Her background includes work with adults, young people and children in community settings. Lorna describes her role as creating a safe-feeling space where people can explore their thoughts, discover new perspectives and practise ways of managing day-to-day challenges.

How Lorna’s approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that fit one’s values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship choices.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship where the person feels heard and accepted. That kind of listening can help with grief, self-esteem and when people want to explore life purpose.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to bring attention into the present moment. Practising these skills can reduce reactivity to stress and support better sleep and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to find methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things out together and adapting the plan as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Different practical reasons suit different people, so please confirm the specific session formats and arrangements before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then help arrange a format that fits everyday routines and supports ongoing work.
