A warm welcome, if you're looking here then it might mean you're ready to start talking to someone about the difficulties you're experiencing. This is a big first step, and it can be a daunting to know who to speak to. I have over ten years experience working in NHS mental health services - I don't believe that people fit into neat diagnoses but that we all sit on a spectrum somewhere between good mental health to distress and this changes depending on what stress is placed on us. I am interested in how you have got to this point and focus on what we can do together to help you move forward and make powerful positive change.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with experience in relational psychoanalysis. My aim is to help individuals understand the root causes of their difficulties to transform their lives in meaningful ways. I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including: dealing with anxiety and/or depression, difficulties with pregnancy, postpartum depression, pregnancy loss, abuse (past and/or present), addiction, bereavement, and trauma, among other concerns. I appreciate how past experiences can impact present relationships and contribute to feelings of low mood, anxiety and disconnection.

I see individuals and couples with a variety of needs, ranging from deep psychological and emotional difficulties to a wish to optimize inner resources, life competencies and wellbeing. Distress may arise in response to specific life events, or more generally from difficulties in our private or professional lives. Therapy offers opportunities to be fully heard, to identify obstacles in the way of healing and growth, to generate insights and to develop new life skills. I approach my work with sensitivity to the uniqueness of each individual, and tailor my interventions to best meet their therapeutic goals and sustain positive change.

You may be struggling with overwhelming emotions and have various ways of coping, which are not helping. It might be because of a current relationship or difficult relationships in the past. You may have suffered childhood abuse or been bullied at school. Perhaps you are struggling to cope with work pressures and are experiencing stress and anxiety. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.

One of the hardest things in life is to reach out and ask for help. I provide a calm and safe space in which you can explore and talk openly about your issues, struggles and life challenges. I see therapy as a deeply personal and private process that can be transformative. The first stage is building trust with me as your therapist so that you feel safe and able to talk about your issues. You are welcome to contact me by phone or email to discuss your situation before arranging an initial consultation. All communication is treated with the utmost respect and in complete confidence.

I work in a collaborative way with clients who present with unaddressed trauma, relational problems, anxiety, depression, low mood and a feeling of hopelessness. I have a special interest in trauma, attachment issues and addiction. Many of my clients identify with feeling stuck in their current situation or those who want to have a better relationship with themselves.

Hi, I’m Lorna, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for high achieving professionals and business owners. Prior to working in private practice, I worked in various sectors for over 12 years including the National Health Service (NHS), independent, charitable, education (state and independent schools) and research sectors as a Psychologist and CBT Therapist. I specialise in supporting my private CBT clients to manage stress and high-functioning anxiety - the kind of anxiety that no one really notices because on the outside, you look like you ‘have it all together’. However, the way you feel on the inside is often very different.

You may be struggling with a clearly defined issue or general 'stuckness in life'. Maybe you need to understand what it is. You may have experienced it for long or a new difficulty intruding in your life. Possibly something you are keeping from others or maybe someone has suggested you seek help for it. It may affect only you or your relationship with loved ones. Maybe you are seeking help with a couple issue you've tried to work on with your partner. You may feel hopeless, having tried everything to solve it. In any case, therapy can be used to make sense of the situation and think of a strategy to move forward towards your goals.

Each one of us struggles in life at one point or another. When the difficulties in life feel too much to manage on our own, counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential and safe environment in which we can explore these difficulties and find the direction to lasting changes. Often our current difficulties have their roots in the past. Problems emerge when we stick to our old ways of coping. Counselling can help us make links to the past and find more adaptive ways of coping. It can help us to tune in to our emotions and thus understand what matters the most and what needs to be changed.
