Lorna Wilson

Lorna Wilson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, addictions and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Lorna works with those coping with life changes and offers particular understanding of women’s issues and caregiver stress.

She trained in counselling and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling. Lorna is a BACP member, which is recorded as BACP. She has 19 years of experience working in a variety of settings across the United Kingdom and has worked with adults, young people and children.

Lorna’s main way of working is client‑centred. That means she aims to create a warm, non‑judgemental space where people can talk openly. She focuses on building trust first, then helping people identify practical steps to feel clearer and more able to cope.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution‑focused work when these suit a person’s needs. Trauma‑focused methods are used when past events are affecting current wellbeing. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings and the goals they want to set.

Lorna describes counselling as a collaborative process. She listens, reflects what she hears and helps people try out new ways of thinking and acting. Many clients come away with clearer priorities, better coping strategies and a greater sense of self‑compassion.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lorna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to identify values that guide meaningful action. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

She also draws on client‑centred and mindfulness approaches, offering calm, focused listening and simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity. These methods can help with stress, self‑esteem and coping after loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorna will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit each person’s situation. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions focus on practical steps, reflective work or trauma‑informed pacing.
