About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She speaks English, Spanish and French, and works with adults on a range of concerns including grief, low self-esteem, addictions and coping with life changes. Lorraine brings 12 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her sessions aim to feel warm and interactive. Lorraine avoids labels and treats people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
She listens to what matters to each person and adapts conversations to fit their situation. Lorraine blends practical thinking tools with emotional work. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside attachment-informed and client-centred ideas.
This mix helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try different behaviours and build stronger relationships with themselves and others. She also draws on strategies from acceptance and commitment work and dialectical behaviour ideas when they suit the issue. That can mean practising values-based choices, working on emotion regulation, or developing new ways to tolerate distress.
The style is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Sessions can address many life challenges listed on her profile such as parenting strain, career stress, sleep or eating concerns, and issues linked to trauma or identity. Lorraine aims to co-create a clear plan so progress feels measurable and relevant to each person.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Lorraine commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep a problem going and then testing small changes to reduce distress. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and patterns that repeat in relationships.She also uses attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This helps when clients struggle with trust, closeness or fear of abandonment and want clearer ways to relate to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorraine will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques to what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face dialogue and exercises. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on agreed goals.
