About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, relationship stress and parenting concerns. Lorraine offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by change, grief, or ongoing life pressures.
She keeps sessions warm and interactive. Conversations focus on the person in front of her, not labels. Lorraine draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, make small changes, and find clearer values to guide decisions.
Background and approach
Lorraine blends techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based approaches and client-centred work. That means she helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, explore past relationship patterns, and feel heard while finding practical steps forward. She also uses elements from acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy to support emotion regulation and long-term coping.
These tools are applied in ways that suit each person’s goals and circumstances rather than as a fixed programme. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, addiction-related problems, ADHD-related difficulties, body image, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Lorraine is able to work in English, Spanish and French and accepts clients internationally.
Her approach aims to be respectful, non-judgemental and focused on practical change.

How Lorraine's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to shift focus away from unhelpful thoughts and toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In remote work this approach uses conversation to map relational habits and try new ways of connecting with others in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorraine will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexibility around work or family commitments.
