About Lorraine
Lorraine Hill is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and life changes. Her practice also includes support for compassion fatigue and related concerns such as isolation, guilt and shame.
Lorraine focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions are used to identify what feels most urgent, pin down small steps, and try different ways of coping. She adapts the pace to what each person needs and keeps language straightforward rather than clinical.
Her approach centres on looking at thoughts and behaviours that make daily life harder. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and practise alternatives between sessions. Work can include checking how work and home routines affect stress and confidence, and planning realistic changes that fit a person’s life.
Lorraine also supports people managing long-term health conditions and caregiving strain. This can mean balancing demands, reducing overwhelm, and managing the emotional fallout of chronic illness or caring roles. She pays attention to how guilt or shame can linger after difficult choices and offers ways to address those feelings practically.
Practical matters such as scheduling and what to focus on are agreed together. Prospective clients are invited to use the site process to match and book a first session when they are ready.
Approaches to shame and practical online sessions
Two evidence-based approaches she uses include cognitive work and behavioural techniques. Cognitive work helps people spot the thoughts that fuel shame and guilt and try more balanced ways of thinking. Behavioural techniques focus on small actions that change how someone feels day to day, such as activity planning or graded steps to face feared situations.She also draws on problem-solving methods that break larger stresses into manageable pieces. This can help with workplace strain, caregiver demands and juggling multiple roles. Each method is explained plainly and practised in short, doable tasks between sessions so progress can be measured.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and agree which techniques to try based on the person's goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as things change so the plan stays useful.
Confirm current session formats before booking, because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. When session options are confirmed, the therapist and client will agree practical arrangements that suit everyday life.
