Lorraine Stronach, NCPS

Lorraine Stronach is a UK-credentialed counsellor with 18 years of professional experience who takes an integrative approach to therapy. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification in counselling, and combines training from several therapeutic models to tailor work to each person's unique situation.

As an integrative practitioner, Lorraine adapts techniques to match individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her practice focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, repair relationship difficulties, and address depression and life transitions. She also works with issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, body image, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions of life purpose. Lorraine has experience supporting men through midlife challenges and addressing mood disorders and patterns related to narcissism.

Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Lorraine aims to create a supportive space for those who have taken the step to seek counselling and to work collaboratively to discover practical steps forward and the answers clients are looking for.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Lorraine Stronach

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. Lorraine uses this approach to work with people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties by identifying relational patterns and building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard. This approach supports clients who need a compassionate space to explore emotions, make sense of life changes, and gain confidence in their own decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Lorraine applies CBT techniques to address stress, anxiety, addictions, mood difficulties, and coping skills, helping clients develop tools for day-to-day change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lorraine works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to determine which methods best match each person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She regularly adapts techniques as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Lorraine offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue care across locations. This range of options supports continuity of work and lets clients choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
