Lorraine Roberts, BACP

Lorraine Roberts offers calm, straightforward support for people facing life changes and emotional strain. She welcomes conversations about stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, loss, and struggles with self-worth. Lorraine uses a warm, interactive style that aims to make it easier to talk about hard things.

She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Lorraine uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practical ways to shift them. She also works with attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships affect current ones. Sessions are shaped around what each person finds most useful rather than a fixed formula.

Lorraine has practised for 12 years and holds BACP membership, which is noted in her professional details. Her background includes helping people with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, grief, addiction, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and long-term health challenges. She also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy-related questions.

She can work in English, Spanish or French and is based in the United Kingdom. Lorraine aims to keep the conversation straightforward and compassionate, helping people set small, practical goals and try out new ways of managing feelings.

To begin, she invites a short discussion about what brought someone to therapy and what they hope to change. From there she and the client agree on steps to try and check in about progress as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and can be helpful for intimacy issues and relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lorraine works collaboratively to identify which methods seem most helpful for a person’s goals. She adapts the way sessions run as understanding grows, combining practical tools and relationship-focused work as needed.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around everyday life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule sessions across time zones for international clients. Many people find it straightforward to try practical exercises, reflect on thoughts, and review progress during remote sessions.
