About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with twelve years of experience. She offers a calm, practical style and aims to make sessions easy to follow. Lorraine listens without judgement and helps people find clearer ways to cope with stress, anxiety and relationship strain.
Her work is grounded in narrative ideas and draws on cognitive-behavioural and attachment-focused methods. That means she helps people tell their story, spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and rebuild connections that matter to them.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Lorraine has supported people through grief, addiction, mood issues such as depression and bipolar, parenting pressures, and identity concerns including LGBT matters. She also helps when life changes feel overwhelming - for example career shifts, chronic illness, or carer stress.
Lorraine can work in English, Spanish or French for those who prefer another language. Her approach is collaborative. She checks what matters most to each person and adapts tools to fit those goals.
People can expect a mix of talking, reflective questions, and simple exercises to practice outside sessions. Therapy is offered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Prospective clients use a short matching questionnaire to begin, then schedule sessions to suit their routine.
Lorraine explains the options and supports people to pick the format that works best.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Lorraine directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Many clients find Narrative Therapy helpful because it focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. Lorraine gently helps people separate dominant problem stories from preferred ways of living and then look for small changes that matter. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is also used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to commit to actions that reflect their values.She draws on Attachment-Based ideas too, which pay attention to how relationships shape emotional patterns. These approaches are offered collaboratively - Lorraine will talk with each person about their needs and goals and try different techniques to see what fits best. Finding the right mix is part of the therapy process and is shaped by the client's preferences and life situation.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and to continue progress from wherever the client is based.
