Lorraine Stronach

Lorraine Stronach is a counsellor with 18 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, or addictive behaviours. Lorraine aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters to them and find practical ways forward.

Her practice is integrative, which means she draws on several approaches to suit each person’s needs. That might include exploring patterns of attachment, using cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts, or practising mindfulness to manage strong feelings. Lorraine adapts her way of working so sessions match the client rather than forcing a single method.

She has supported people through life changes, separation and divorce, issues with control and impulsivity, and struggles with guilt, shame or isolation. Lorraine also works with concerns about body image, purpose, and the effects of narcissistic relationships. She emphasises clear, respectful dialogue and practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Clients can expect a conversational and calm approach. Lorraine listens for the patterns that matter, offers straightforward strategies, and helps people reflect on choices and values. She aims to help clients build skills they can use after counselling ends.

To begin, someone interested completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to availability. Lorraine accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand repeated difficulties in relationships and build healthier ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to explore their feelings without judgment. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then suggest ways of working together. The choice of methods is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow conversations from different locations. Some ways of working are better for shorter check-ins, while others suit deeper reflection; Lorraine can advise on what will likely suit your needs as part of the initial planning.
