About Lorraine
Lorraine Ballintine is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience and a BACP credential. She aims to make starting therapy easier for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and supportive from the first conversation.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on what matters now - coping with grief, managing anxious thoughts, building confidence or working through trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Lorraine listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients feel understood. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, career questions, and coping with life changes. She pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, attachment and abandonment experiences.
This helps people make sense of repeated difficulties and try different ways of responding. Lorraine uses client-centred therapy which keeps the person’s priorities at the centre of each session. That means the pace and topics are shaped by the client, not a rigid protocol.
Progress often comes from small changes that feel achievable between sessions. Practical options are available for remote support, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People who want to start can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches Lorraine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and suggest how sessions might be structured. Together they will try ways of working that feel comfortable and practical, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and share a conversational space. Phone sessions work well when a camera is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, arranging appointments or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
