Lorraine Morgan

I currently have availability for new clients, I can offer evening or daytime appointments, please contact me to discuss your requirements. 

I do not have my phone on at all times as I am often with clients, so please leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, you call e mail me with your queries and we can arrange a mutually convenient time for me to call you for our initial phone consultation. 

I’m Lorraine, I am an integrative therapist, which means that I'm trained to draw on several different theories and approaches to counselling. This enables me to provide tailored support to clients with an understanding that people are complex and unique, and what works for one will not be the best thing for all. At the heart of my practice is a person-centred approach which means that I place high value on building trusting and strong relationships with clients by providing a warm and non-judgemental atmosphere in which clients feel able to say what they need to and be who they need to be. I am always guided by client’s wishes and needs as to how therapy proceeds. The key to the relationship for me is collaboration, equality is key in any relationship and both the therapist and client will bring different information and viewpoints to the sessions which in collaboration will support the client to reach their goals in life.

I worked for many years as a social worker before completing MSc in Counselling at Bangor University to become a counsellor, which has given me a wealth of experience working with people from all walks of life and supporting them through their most difficult times. 

I have lived experience of managing chronic illness, as well as training and understanding of different approaches to managing conditions such as fibromyalgia and ME. 

I have come to see that much of the distress and anxiety we face in life can come from using coping mechanisms and strategies served us well in the past but that are no longer helping us.  I can support you to explore your story and your patterns  as well as your strengths. 

I believe that the desired outcome of both counselling and life itself is to be the best possible version of ourselves in our current environment and circumstances. I would be excited to support you on this journey to explore how this can be true for you.

I work out of an office in Llandudno Junction, online via videocall, or over the telephone, dependent on what works best for you.

I offer free 20 minute initial call for potential clients for us to get to know each other and to discuss your needs and requirements from therapy. Our first full session will last for 60 minutes and will be led by you and what you need to talk about. Depending on your needs and the way you want the therapy to work we may discuss your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve through future sessions.
