About Lorraine

Lorraine Stronach helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues and depression using an integrative counselling style. She is registered with the NCPS and has 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Lorraine uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress and on practical ways to manage difficult feelings. She describes her work as collaborative and person-focused, aiming to help clients make sense of their experience and try out different ways of coping.

Her practice includes attention to attachment issues and problems that stem from abandonment, control, or communication difficulties. She also works with concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and finding life purpose. Men facing specific personal pressures and people going through divorce or separation are also mentioned as areas of focus.

Lorraine draws on methods from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, and uses mindfulness techniques to support emotion regulation. She also integrates psychodynamic and Jungian ideas where exploring past patterns or personal meaning is helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and Lorraine accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a client uses the Talk to a counsellor online button, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.

How Lorraine uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current reactions; it can be useful for relationship difficulties and attachment concerns. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre, emphasising active listening and reflection to help someone clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss different methods with the client and together they decide which fits best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments. Some clients find short telephone check-ins useful when bandwidth or quieter surroundings are needed, while others prefer a full session that includes deeper reflection and exercises. Registered or accredited professionals generally offer these flexible options to help therapy fit around everyday life.
