Lorna Wilson
Compassionate, practical counselling for life’s challenges
About Lorna
Lorna Wilson offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, anger, addictions, and trauma. She also helps with eating and sleeping issues, parenting stress, self-esteem, career questions and coping with life changes.
Lorna is a BACP member and has 19 years of experience working with people who are seeking clearer direction and relief from distress. Lorna describes a straightforward, warm way of working.
Background and approach
She aims to build trust quickly so people can talk honestly about what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding what keeps problems going. The tone is non-judgemental and aimed at helping people feel heard.
Her practice draws on approaches that encourage acceptance, present-moment awareness and practical problem solving. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside solution-focused ideas to help people notice what is happening now and try small changes that make a difference. Trauma-focused methods are available when past harm is a key issue.
Lorna also uses client-centred principles that put the person’s own goals at the centre of the work. That means conversations follow what the person wants to explore and how they want to explore it. The therapist helps people develop strategies, clearer boundaries and self-compassion as needed.
Across nearly two decades of work in the United Kingdom, Lorna has supported people facing caregiver stress, communication problems, midlife shifts, discrimination and issues linked to identity. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How Lorna’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression and making changes that matter. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session, with the therapist offering empathy and understanding so people can find their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, stress and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Lorna will discuss what matters to the person, try different ideas and agree what feels most helpful. The result is a plan shaped by the person’s goals, background and what works in practice rather than a fixed formula.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and use longer conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good fit during a break at work, while chat or messaging allow short check-ins and written reflection. These options help people fit therapy around everyday life and keep continuity when circumstances change.
