Lorna Wilson, BACP

Lorna Wilson understands how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking support and welcomes anyone who visits her profile. She recognises that life has felt particularly challenging in recent years, with many changes and uncertainty, and she offers a calm, steady presence for people seeking clarity and practical ways to cope. Lorna decided to train as a counsellor after experiencing firsthand the difference counselling can make, and she brings that personal understanding to her work with adults, young people, and children.

She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as MBACP. With 19 years of practice as a qualified counsellor, Lorna has helped clients navigate issues such as depression, anxiety, anger management, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem and self-compassion, family and work relationships, and a range of life adjustments. Her practice emphasises a person-centred approach that prioritises trust and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, enabling people to explore their concerns in a warm, non-judgemental space and to develop strategies for greater fulfilment and understanding.

Lorna aims to offer practical support and emotional presence while tailoring work to each person’s needs. She values the privilege of witnessing change and invites those considering therapy to reach out when they feel ready to take the next step.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Lorna integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work, and mindfulness practices into her online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person is supported to explore their own solutions and build self-understanding - this approach is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and emotional processing. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices that support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and improved sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Lorna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and respects that different concerns may call for different blends of therapy.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility and accessibility for busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or international clients. These formats allow people to continue therapy through life changes, to schedule appointments around work or family commitments, and to choose the contact style that feels most comfortable while working with a registered professional.
