Lorraine Gallagher

I can offer telephone or Skype/Face Time Counselling sessions.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor.  (Integrative means I use different approaches depending on what the client needs).

I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists).

I can offer you the time and space to reflect on difficult feelings.  I offer empathy and congruence. 

How Can Counselling Work for You?

My approach is concerned with helping you gain a deeper understanding of your feelings, experiences and behaviour.  For example past experiences/relationships effecting your present relationships, conscious and unconscious thoughts.

My priority is creating a warm, respectful, secure, confidential relationship so you can feel safe enough to explore whatever may be troubling you.

An initial assessment takes approximately 50 minutes and is a good way of finding out what your goals and expectations are to counselling. I usually take notes for the initial assessment but future counselling sessions I will not take notes. We will go through what your current thoughts and feelings are and I will ask you some questions about your past relationships/current relationships and any significant events that have happened to you.
