Lorraine Stronach
Practical, respectful therapy for life challenges
About Lorraine
Lorraine Stronach helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction and low mood. She offers calm, straightforward support for relationship difficulties and for those facing big life changes. Lorraine works with practical steps and listening that respects each person's story.
She has 18 years of professional experience and holds NCPS. Lorraine uses a blend of approaches so sessions fit the person rather than the other way round. That means she can draw on talking therapies, thinking-based tools and mindfulness practices depending on what feels most useful.
Background and approach
Sessions are oriented around what a client wants to change. Lorraine focuses on clear goals and simple strategies. She also pays attention to how past patterns of attachment and identity shape current problems, such as issues with abandonment, control or feeling isolated.
People often bring worries about body image, guilt and shame, or struggles with impulsivity and communication. Lorraine can also support those dealing with divorce and separation, midlife questions, or career and life purpose doubts. She explains ideas plainly and avoids jargon.
Her style is warm and respectful. Lorraine encourages practical experiments between sessions, short reflections and moments of mindful noticing. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at building better routines, clearer thinking and stronger emotional understanding.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections. It helps people understand fears around abandonment and problems with trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, needs and comfort level. That might mean trying a thinking-based tool one week and a mindfulness exercise the next, then settling on what helps most.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging suits short reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility, make it easier to fit therapy around work or family, and let people continue support when travel is difficult or time is tight.
