Lorraine Stronach

Lorraine Stronach is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression and coping with life changes, and she includes life purpose among her areas of focus.

She practises in an integrative way, drawing on several established approaches to fit what each person brings. Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that get in the way, and trying out practical steps to test new ways of coping.

Clients often come with issues around attachment, abandonment or communication problems. Lorraine also addresses matters such as body image, guilt and shame, control issues and feelings of isolation. She can help with midlife questions and men’s issues as well as the emotional fall-out of divorce and separation.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural work and attachment-informed thinking. She also uses ideas from Jungian and mindfulness therapies when they help a client reflect and practise different responses.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this means noticing how people connect, withdraw or test closeness and using that information to try different ways of relating. Client-centred work puts the person’s experience front and centre; the therapist listens and reflects so clients can clarify what matters and what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often uses short, practical exercises to test new habits and reduce distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Lorraine will discuss goals, preferences and past experience, and together they will choose which approaches to prioritise. The decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a work break. Some people prefer fewer visual demands and choose audio-only; others like having worksheets and exercises sent between sessions. Check the current session options and then agree a rhythm that fits everyday life.
