About me and my therapy practice

You might be feeling isolated, lost, or just not quite yourself — unsure of what's wrong or what might help. Whatever has brought you here, reaching out is often the hardest part, and you've already taken that step.

As a professionally trained Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I draw upon psychodynamic principles alongside other approaches and techniques to suit your needs. Together, in a confidential, non-judgemental space, we'll explore what's happening for you now and consider how past experiences and early-life messages may still be shaping how you feel and respond today.

People often come to me wanting clarity about why they are the way they are, and a different way of relating to themselves and others. Through this work, many find a deeper self-understanding that facilitates acceptance, healing and growth, opening the door to more authentic, self-determined ways of being.

If this resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you. Call, write, or message me to talk about how I can help.

Therapeutic Parent Consultations

Helping parents make sense of their child's emotional world.

These sessions are for parents who want to better understand their child's emotional distress, challenging behaviours, or mental health difficulties. Together, we'll explore what may be going on for your child, what might be triggering the difficulties, and how you can respond in ways that feel more attuned and effective.

For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me, or visit my website: https://lorrainegilltherapy.co.uk/

Practice description

I offer a free 20-minute telephone or online consultation before arranging an initial session. It is important that we both understand your issues and expectations to see if Psychotherapeutic Counselling is the right approach for you. It's also a chance for you to ask any questions and get a sense of whether you feel we would be a good fit for working together.

We will then choose a time mutually suitable for our sessions. Each session is 50 minutes long.

If online, I will send a link to our sessions at least 24 hours before. I will provide you with information about what platform we will be using, what should happen if we lose connection and a copy of the contract and confidentiality agreement prior to our first session.

For in-person sessions, once the contract and confidentiality documents have been approved, I will send you the address and any necessary details about the location.

You are welcome to contact me with any questions or concerns prior to our first session.

My first session

In our first sessions, I will take a more directive approach, asking about your current situation, what has brought you to therapy, your past therapy experiences, your family history and childhood, as well as your hopes and expectations for our work together.

We will then collaboratively agree on a goal for the following six or so sessions, identifying an area that you would like to specifically focus on during therapy. Don't worry if you're unsure about this; this can be an emerging goal as the work and the relationship develops.

We will then meet weekly or fortnightly to explore this area as well as any current stressors or issues that may come up for you and, review progress and approach every 6-8 sessions.

Although I am predominantly client-led in my approach, I do ask questions and may occasionally challenge what has been said when I believe it may be therapeutically advantageous. However, my approach is always one of acceptance, curiosity and compassion. Rest assured, I won't push and we will take things at your pace.

With regards to the Therapeutic Parent Consultations - these will be short-term, and focused on your and your child's needs. We will explore your current challenges and approach and consider what might be going on for you and your child in these moments. I will introduce any relevant psychoeducation and therapeutic parenting approaches as well as signposting you to any additional support or resources, if appropriate. You may even find that one session might be enough to increase your understanding.

ADD / ADHD, Adoption, Anxiety, Autism spectrum, Bereavement, Child related issues, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Cultural issues, Depression, Disability, Health related issues, Identity issues, LGBTQ+ counselling, Loss, Menopause, Neurodiversity, Phobias, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Spirituality, Stress, Trauma, Vegan allied, Women's issues, Work related issues
