Lorraine Roberts , BACP

Lorraine Roberts is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 12 years of professional experience who supports individuals, couples, families, teenagers, and LGBTQ+ clients. She works across a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, anger management, self-esteem and confidence, ADHD, addictions, and a variety of intimacy and parenting difficulties. Lorraine also addresses more specialized issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and co-morbid conditions.

Her style is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion; she explicitly avoids stigmatizing labels and seeks to meet each person where they are. Lorraine draws on an integrative set of evidence-informed approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - and she adapts language and techniques to fit each client’s needs. She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), reflecting her professional affiliation in the UK.

Sessions are tailored collaboratively, with practical goals and a treatment plan shaped to reflect individual circumstances, values, and preferences. Lorraine aims to create a supportive environment in which clients can explore challenges, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, which can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-directive relationship in which the therapist provides acceptance and understanding so clients can explore their feelings and develop self-directed growth - this approach supports self-esteem, confidence, and identity-related work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lorraine works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She listens to presenting concerns, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with each client’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and shorter contacts can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier for clients to access consistent support around work, family, caregiving, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
