About Me
Hi ,I am Lorain, thank you for taking the time and viewing my profile.
​
I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor offering a safe and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges.
Using a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental approach I can help you build self-understanding and develop strategies to navigate your life path.
I believe by equipping you with the right tools, you can develop self-understanding and awareness which can help you grow as an individual.
I started my journey as a counsellor as I approached menopause, I felt I need to understand myself and my behaviours having had a challenging childhood and abusive first marriage, then being diagnosed with a chronic illness MS.
By discovering and accepting myself through my own counselling, I felt empowered and free, discovering my self-worth enabling me to believe in me, following my path in life.
​
My life experiences and training has equipped me to offer unconditional positive regard, empathy, and a safe environment to others enabling them to speak freely as they walk their path with me at their side.
I have been privileged to volunteer at two centres in Sefton, one for men’s mental health and wellbeing and the other for women’s and young person’s mental health and wellbeing,
