About Lorena
Lorena Borbinceane is a counsellor who blends several therapeutic ways of working to support people through parenting challenges and related stresses. She brings six years of professional experience and uses a person-centred stance that focuses on the client’s own strengths and goals. Lorena creates space for honest conversation.
She aims to reduce shame and judgement and to help clients notice patterns that feel stuck. Sessions are straightforward and practical, with time to talk through feelings and to try small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across a range of organisations and client situations. That experience informs how she tailors sessions, whether someone is coping with anxiety, grief, depression, or big life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, anger, low self-worth, and compassion fatigue.
Lorena uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. Approaches she draws on include attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, EMDR, hypnotherapy and a client-centred way of holding sessions. She works in English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.
People can expect practical steps as well as emotional support. The aim is to increase awareness, find relief from distressing feelings, and build ways of coping that fit everyday life. Lorena encourages clients to try things between sessions and to notice what helps them feel more connected and grounded.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how past bonds shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they connect with others, explore attachment needs and practise new ways of relating.Client-centred therapy places the person at the centre of the process and prioritises empathy and active listening. In this approach the counsellor follows the client's pace, helping clarify goals and supporting choices rather than giving directives.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behaviour changes. Online CBT sessions often include homework between meetings and short exercises that fit into daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on the client's goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative process can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and work. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what best fits their life.
