As a psychologist with over a decade of experience, I understand how difficult it can be live with anxiety or negative thoughts. It can affect every aspect of your life – from work to relationships to your overall sense of self-worth. You don’t have to struggle alone; I can help.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, evidence-based and holistic. My goal is to guide you towards a more fulfilling life, where you feel like the best version of yourself.

    October 2022

  • “The EMDR treatment was extremely effective for me, it really helped me feel so much better about so many subjects. I was always open minded about it, but I didn't expect it to make that much difference in a relatively short space of time.”

  • "Lorna has helped me through the challenging times in my life and has helped me to improve on my positive mindset and in dealing with Anxiety and OCD in which I’ve made a big improvement since going to see Lorna.”

  • “As a result of therapy, I have developed some self-confidence which before I was completely lacking. I have learnt what it means to soothe oneself and am able to do it. I feel I have a better understanding of, and relationship, with, myself. I feel more connected with my body. My outlook has changed in that I somehow feel more alive to the small things and life.”
