About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship struggles. She works with individuals and with people navigating grief, trauma, identity and self-esteem concerns. Lorraine offers a warm, interactive style aimed at making conversations feel straightforward and practical.
She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work and elements of dialectical practice. Sessions tend to be collaborative: Lorraine listens, reflects what she hears and helps people try out different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Lorraine has 12 years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses as a professional reference for practice in the United Kingdom. She is able to work in English, Spanish and French, and she accepts international clients. In early sessions Lorraine focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Together they set clear, manageable goals and check progress regularly. Practical tools such as thought records, values-based actions and grounding skills are used alongside space to process painful experiences. People come to Lorraine for many reasons, including ADHD, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy worries and career stress.
She also supports people facing body image, chronic illness, bereavement and issues related to adoption and attachment. The overall aim is to help people build steadier ways of coping and clearer ways of making choices.

How Lorraine’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small, values-based actions even when feelings are difficult. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviour and mood. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present patterns and helps people try new ways of connecting and relating to others, which can support relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Lorraine will discuss what feels most relevant and will adapt techniques to match your goals, preferences and circumstances. Decisions about focus and methods are made together and revisited as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it makes scheduling easier and lets sessions fit into a busy life. Online conversations can allow shorter check-ins, make it simpler to access a therapist from another area, and remove travel time so therapy is easier to keep up with alongside work or caregiving commitments.
