About Lorna
Lorna Wilson is a counsellor and a BACP member with 19 years' experience in the UK. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief, addictions and problems around self-esteem and sleep.
Lorna trained to be a counsellor after seeing how therapy changed her own life. She uses a person-centred base, which means she focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening without judgement. Sessions are used to talk through what matters most and to try out practical ways to cope.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That lets conversations move between noticing thoughts and feelings, learning simple mindfulness practices, and setting small steps that can change day-to-day routines. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her work when trauma and abuse are relevant.
She has worked in a range of settings and with adults, young people and children. Much of her experience has been helping people manage difficult feelings, adjust after loss, and develop clearer ways of communicating at home or at work. Lorna aims to help clients find more clarity and better ways to handle repeated anger and resentment.
Sessions are practical and conversational. She supports clients to explore what they want to change, try short exercises between sessions, and review what helps. The result is a straightforward, steady way to work through stressful or painful issues over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them, and to focus on actions that matter. It can be useful for persistent anger, anxiety and stress by shifting attention toward chosen values and small practical steps.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to calm intensity and reduce reactivity. These practices are aimed at helping people pause before reacting, lower rumination, and sleep and concentration often follow.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide whether to focus on ACT, mindfulness or short solution-focused steps, and they review progress as they go.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting counselling into busy weeks, keeping appointments that would otherwise be hard to attend, and choosing a quieter time or a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practice and goal-setting so the work fits everyday life without changing the therapeutic aim.
