It is not at all unusual for any of us to experience a sense of anxiety or depression due to a life event that has caused us to feel “disconnected,” or simply “overwhelmed
From a Jungian perspective, therapy (analysis) begins with the understanding that every person (including you) is unique and has the potential to become fully “individual.” This will involve looking at the way past experiences may have affected you and the way those might continue to get in the way of “you becoming you.”

Perhaps you feel trapped by the past, knowing there must be more to life yet stuck in survival mode.
Trauma does not only live in memory; it lives in the nervous system and body. It shapes how we experience the world. Alongside talking therapy, I work somatically, supporting nervous system regulation helping you understand how experiences are held physically and emotionally. I integrate creativity, allowing processing and expression beyond words.

You may be someone who is outwardly coping, managing responsibilities, relationships and expectations, yet privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of what you need. You might notice yourself feeling responsible for others while struggling to prioritise yourself, or finding that the same relational difficulties repeat despite insight or effort. Perhaps you feel emotionally shut down at times or easily flooded. You may feel lonely or unseen, even within close relationships. You want more than strategies to cope and wish to understand yourself more deeply and to create meaningful, lasting change.

If you are ready to start feeling calmer, more confident and achieve a greater sense of balance, fulfilment and inner peace in both your personal and professional life, get in touch to book in your free 15 minute intro call and let’s chat about how I can support you - remember you don't have to handle everything on your own.
Hi, I’m Lorna, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for high achieving professionals and business owners. Prior to working in private practice, I worked in various sectors for over 12 years including the National Health Service (NHS), independent, charitable, education (state and independent schools) and research sectors as a Psychologist and CBT Therapist. I specialise in supporting my private CBT clients to manage stress and high-functioning anxiety - the kind of anxiety that no one really notices because on the outside, you look like you ‘have it all together’. However, the way you feel on the inside is often very different.

I work with clients managing anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdown, divorce, stress, and periods of crisis, as well as those navigating life transitions, burnout, and challenges around identity and self-esteem.
Together, we explore patterns, experiences, and what may be keeping things feeling stuck, while also thinking practically about how things can begin to shift . Alongside this, I incorporate elements of coaching where appropriate, supporting clients not only to understand themselves more deeply, but also to move forward in a more grounded and positive way.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
