About Lorraine

Lorraine Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and twelve years of experience. She focuses on sexual intimacy issues alongside a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and addiction. Lorraine speaks English, Spanish and French and aims to create a warm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters to them.

Her style is interactive and down to earth. Conversations are tailored to each person so the work matches their goals and life. Lorraine avoids labels and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Lorraine draws on approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work and dialectical behaviour therapy. She uses these methods to help people manage symptoms, build coping skills and repair important relationships. The emphasis is on clear, usable strategies rather than jargon.

Sessions explore current difficulties and their impact on daily life. Therapy can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, identifying values, and rehearsing new ways of relating. Lorraine offers gentle challenge alongside emotional support to help people move forward.

Clients come away with practical tools to manage stress, mood and intimacy concerns. She encourages small, steady changes that fit into busy lives. If you want to start, follow the site's booking steps to match and arrange a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values, which can help when anxiety, low mood or intimacy problems get in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for stress, sleeping difficulties and many mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and can be helpful for intimacy and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that feel most relevant. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking to be sure they fit your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into work and family life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up check-ins without leaving home. It also supports quicker access to a therapist who speaks your language or specialises in particular issues. Ask about practical arrangements when you match and schedule so sessions work smoothly with your day-to-day commitments.
