Lorraine O'Brien

I have been a counsellor since 1991, working with adults and couples within Relate, and young people in school environments. My approach is integrative. I offer short term focused and longer term in depth counselling and psychotherapy for a wide range of issues. By working in a non-judgemental, accepting way, offering a flexible approach to suit your unique experiences and personality, giving you the time and space to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and in your own way to help you through your difficulties, you will be supported to make sense of past and present experiences, and to develop a greater awareness of and confidence in your strengths, values and needs. I can offer a range of practical, enjoyable and effective creative techniques to help you express and explore your feelings.

Who I work with.

I work with individuals, couples, or different combinations of family members, and young people over the age of 11.
