About Lorraine
Lorraine Roberts offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She writes simply and listens closely. Sessions are aimed at helping people manage day-to-day pressures, cope with loss, and build more confidence in themselves.
She uses clear, conversational techniques rather than jargon. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can make life easier. Lorraine adapts her approach to suit each person's needs and goals.
Background and approach

She also works with people facing career pressures, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and body image worries.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then take steps that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone wants.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to reduce anxious and unhelpful patterns and to improve sleep, mood and daily functioning.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns can shape current connections and trust. This approach can help people understand repeated relationship difficulties and develop new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, needs and preferences. That may mean combining ideas from different therapies and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, shorter support, or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
