Lorraine Roberts offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and other life changes. She writes in a direct, non-judgemental way and aims to make sessions feel like a steady place to think things through. Lorraine speaks English, Spanish and French and works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her style is warm and interactive. Conversations focus on what matters to the client right now, with short-term tools and longer-term ways of thinking.
Background and approach
Lorraine uses clear language rather than clinical terms so people can try approaches without confusion. With 12 years of experience she draws on several established methods to suit different needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour. Sessions aim to combine compassion with active problem solving. Lorraine pays attention to emotional safety and to concrete steps a person can use between meetings.
She tailors planning to the situation, whether the focus is on coping with loss, managing mood, or improving intimacy. People who prefer flexible contact can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Fees vary with location and are billed through a cancellable subscription.
To start, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapy approaches translate into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and build small habits that move life in that direction. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking patterns that make problems worse and trying practical experiments to change them. It often helps with mood, anxiety and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorraine will talk through goals and preferences and adapt methods together. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress or new issues emerge, so therapy stays relevant to what the client needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a gentler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, homework exchanges or when shorter, frequent contact helps with momentum. These options make it easier to maintain continuity around work, caregiving and travel while using approaches that focus on behaviour, relationships and clear skills.
