Lorna Wilson, BACP

Lorna Wilson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing challenges like addictions, self-esteem problems, sleep and eating concerns, and career or life changes.

She trained to be a counsellor after noticing how much therapy helped her own life. Her core model is client-centred therapy, where the conversation focuses on the person rather than a strict set of techniques. Lorna aims to build trust quickly and to create a straightforward space for people to talk through what’s worrying them.

In practice she blends person-centred work with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused methods. That means sessions can include noticing thoughts and feelings, practising present-moment awareness, and setting small, realistic goals to change what feels unhelpful. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past events continue to cause distress.

Lorna has worked in a range of settings and has experience with adults, young people and children. She often helps with family and communication problems, caregiver stress, commitment and intimacy issues, and problems caused by prejudice or discrimination. She also addresses self-harm, post-traumatic stress and midlife concerns.

Sessions are presented with clear, practical conversation and simple strategies. People who come for support can expect a calm, steady approach aimed at helping them make sensible changes that fit their everyday life.
