Lorna Wilson, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices. These skills reduce rumination and help people calm intense emotions, making it easier to manage stress, sleep problems and anger. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorna will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The approach can be adjusted as you progress so the plan stays relevant and practical. Online therapy gives flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see each other for a fuller conversation, while phone sessions are useful when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to keep continuity when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use these formats to offer consistent therapeutic support.
