Do you need help to improve your relationship with food? I've been a clinical psychologist for over 20 years. For the past 11 years, I've specialised in disordered eating (e.g. "emotional eating") and eating disorders (including binge eating disorder and bulimia), in addition to associated issues, such as anxiety, low mood, trauma, low self-esteem, poor body image, self-sabotaging behaviours, fear of change, and weight-related difficulties. I offer a safe, supportive space to help you better understand your relationship with food, yourself and others. I will help you work towards your goals at your own pace.

I deliver both short-term and long-term therapy, available online or in person.
Do you need a safe and calm space to talk openly about what’s been weighing on your mind—whether it’s emotional challenges, relationship, or family issues, or simply feeling stuck? I’m here to help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can gently uncover the root of your emotions and building a path toward healing. As an Integrative Counsellor, my approach is grounded in the Person-Centred model, while also drawing on CBT and mindfulness techniques to support your unique needs. I believe therapy should be tailored to you—your pace, your goals, and your story.

I work face-to-face, via video call, and via phone, whatever suits you best.
Whether you're seeking solutions for an immediate problem or wish to explore deeper patterns in your life, we'll collaborate to find a path that feels right for you. We can start by discussing what you hope to gain from counselling, and we can explore the best options to support you. You will never be under pressure to discuss anything you don't want to. First and foremost, a counsellor's job is to listen with empathy and understanding. Whether you're seeking a sounding board for difficult emotions, a partner in problem-solving, or simply a non-judgmental presence, I am here to support you in the way that feels most beneficial.

If you think something in your past is continuing to impact you in a negative way. If you are constantly being triggered, if you have tried other talking therapies and are still being triggered, likelihood is that you have unresolved trauma and need EMDR. I have seen remarkable results in my clients in just a few sessions to really shift the feelings often trapped in the body. The feelings that put us on edge, make us jumpy and things we can't stop dreaming about and that keep us awake. Getting rid of these symptoms is what people want. I have years of experience in helping people with this and have seen the difference it makes.

To help you decide if counselling is for you and to see if we are a good fit, I offer a free 30 minute face-to-face chat.
Hi, I'm Loraine - you may have been wondering for sometime whether counselling is for you - perhaps you are feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed, or maybe you are struggling to make sense of a past event or relationship which has left you with thoughts and feelings that you would like to talk through. It can be difficult sometimes to open up with those close to you, often it's easier to speak with someone who is independent. On Balance Counselling offers a warm and friendly space just for you where you will be listened to with compassion, empathy and understanding - a place for you to bring whatever is on your mind just now.

You can see me either online or in person.
When relationships (business, family or personal) are troubled, we can feel anxious or depressed. Whether its lack of, ending of, difficulties with or changes in relationships, at work or home, our need for human closeness both brings pleasure and causes problems. Maybe change is driven by others, maybe you need something to change but don't know the best way to go about it. Perhaps you’re finding that you’re stuck in a destructive communication pattern and feel like you’re going round in circles. Maybe you don’t really know what you want, but would like to find out. I can help.
