About Lorraine
Lorraine Stronach is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression and coping with life changes. Lorraine also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, communication problems and guilt and shame.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor and uses different approaches to suit each person. In practice this means she draws on methods from attachment-based work, client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, Jungian ideas and mindfulness. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with attention to patterns that keep painful feelings going.
Lorraine often helps people identify repeated relationship patterns and the thoughts that fuel shame or guilt. She pays attention to early attachment experiences and how they affect present relationships. Cognitive techniques are used to notice and test unhelpful beliefs, while mindfulness supports noticing feelings without acting on them immediately.
Her work is conversational and reflective. Clients can expect discussion of real-life situations, links between past and present, and small, testable changes to try between sessions. Lorraine accepts international clients and works in English.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How her approaches guide online work
Lorraine uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps people spot repeat dynamics in adult relationships and understand why some situations trigger shame or distance.She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and following what matters to the individual. This gives space for people to tell their story and for the counsellor to reflect what seems most important in the moment.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test unhelpful thoughts that keep guilt and shame alive. That includes simple experiments and thought records to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorraine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. This often involves checking in and adjusting the approach as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity and practising new skills in between meetings.
