About Lorraine
Lorraine Stronach is a counsellor with 18 years of professional experience who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She works with individuals facing addiction, relationship difficulties and depression. Her approach is practical and warm, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood when they reach out for support.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than a single fixed method. That lets her tailor sessions to the issue at hand and to the way a person prefers to work. Lorraine emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every meeting.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s own goals and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Sessions explore the practical steps someone can take between meetings. Lorraine helps people develop coping strategies for panic, anxiety and low mood, and she supports changes around communication and boundaries. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what can be tried next.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Lorraine helps map out priorities together and suggests small, achievable actions. Her aim is to support people as they build clearer choices and more manageable ways of living.
How online sessions reflect her therapeutic approaches
Lorraine combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in online practice. Client-centred counselling involves attentive listening and supporting people to set their own goals, which helps when someone needs space to find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can shorten the time spent getting to appointments. It also allows for different rhythms of contact, such as a focused short check-in or a longer therapeutic conversation, depending on what suits daily life.
