Lorraine Stronach

Lorraine Stronach is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes such as separation and divorce. She aims to create a calm space where clients can work through practical problems and painful feelings at their own pace.

Lorraine uses an integrative approach and blends methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Lorraine listens for what matters most and helps clients set small goals that feel realistic. She uses mindfulness techniques to help people ground themselves when anxiety or strong emotion becomes hard to manage.

Her work covers issues such as addictions, communication problems, control issues, isolation and guilt. She also supports people facing midlife questions, career shifts and struggles with identity or body image. Lorraine describes her style as respectful, sensitive and compassionate.

People who choose counselling with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How chosen approaches are used in online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current reactions and patterns. It can help people understand why they respond strongly in certain situations and offer ways to try new patterns with more ease.

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard and helps people find their own solutions rather than prescribing answers.

Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. This can be useful for easing anxiety, mood difficulties and clearing steps through stressful life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that suit the person. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people access support from different locations, including international clients, while the therapist and client decide what works best for them.
