Lorna Harrison

Lorna Harrison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience and a BACP credential. She aims to create an open space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Lorna focuses on practical support and steady encouragement as people take steps towards change.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first and lets people set the pace of the work. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual - lowering stress, managing anxiety, coping with grief or navigating career and relationship stresses.

Lorna uses a client-centred approach. That means she follows the person's concerns and helps them find their own solutions rather than imposing techniques. This way of working is suited to issues such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.

She also supports people dealing with life-changing health issues, including cancer, and offers guidance around end-of-life and hospice-related matters. Practical problems like sleep and eating difficulties, workplace strain, parenting pressures and communication problems are part of her caseload.

Sessions are conversational and focused on realistic steps. Lorna helps people build coping skills for everyday life and clearer ways to make decisions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment according to the therapist's availability.

How client-centred work fits with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person's lead. The counsellor reflects what someone says, helps them notice patterns, and supports them to make decisions that feel right. This approach is helpful for concerns such as anxiety, grief, self-esteem and coping with big life changes.

The aim is collaborative. The counsellor and client explore which ways of working feel most useful. Over the first few meetings they will decide together whether to keep going with the same approach or to try different ways of working to meet specific goals.

Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session formats the counsellor offers. The biography does not list formats explicitly, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people check in from a quieter spot. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer conversations and reflective work. The counsellor will discuss what works best and help arrange sessions that fit the client's schedule and needs.
