Lorraine Carroll

My working days are Monday & Friday 9-3  and Saturday 9-12.

Evenings will be considered where possible.

All sessions will be conducted online via the Zoom communications platform. I will provide a safe and confidential environment, all I ask is for you to ensure you feel safe within your surroundings and that you cannot be overheard. Each session normally lasts for 50 minutes or 90 minutes for EMDR.

For clients wishing to receive EMDR therapy, they will need access to a computer/laptop. (IPad screens are not suitable for these sessions).

Disconnection Problems - If video services are not available due to an unplanned equipment or service malfunction, sessions will occur via telephone.

Recordings Are Prohibited. Clients are not allowed to make an audio or video recording of any portion of the session.

 I provide online Person-Centred Counselling and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy, bringing over 14 years of experience to my practice.

My approach offers a safe, supportive, and empowering space for individuals navigating emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic or sexual abuse, and relationship issues.

While my core training is rooted in the Person-Centred approach, I also have extensive experience and training in other modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and CBT.

Through compassionate support and collaborative exploration of difficulties, I aim to help clients build emotional stability, resilience, and self-esteem, while moving towards their preferred futures.

I am an accredited member of the Â鶹ԭ´´, committed to delivering a professional, high-quality service that aligns with current legislation, ethical standards, and best practice guidelines.

In addition to my therapeutic work, I am also a clinical supervisor, providing supervision for both practitioners and students managing clinical caseloads.

 My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Person-Centred Counselling with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) where appropriate.

I have experience working with a broad range of presenting issues, and I have a particular interest in supporting individuals affected by trauma and its impact on daily life.

Trauma can result from highly stressful, frightening, or distressing experiences that feel overwhelming or beyond our control. This may stem from a single incident or develop over time through ongoing events. Most people will encounter something in their lives that could be considered traumatic.

My aim is to support you in processing these difficult experiences, helping you to reduce their emotional impact and regain a sense of stability and well-being.

I understand that taking the first step towards therapy can be challenging. I'm happy to connect with you by phone, Zoom, or email to answer any questions or discuss any concerns you may have before our first session.

Our initial session is an opportunity to begin building trust and setting clear expectations. You may choose to share what's been weighing on you, explore your current thoughts and feelings, or reflect on what has brought you to therapy at this point in your life. Together, we’ll begin to shape a path forward that feels right for you.

Supervision sessions are available via telephone & online, Monday and Fridays between 9am and 3pm, Saturdays 9-12.

Evenings may be available on request.

All sessions will be conducted online via the Zoom communications platform. I will provide a safe and confidential environment, all I ask is for you to ensure you feel safe within your surroundings and that you cannot be overheard. Each supervision session lasts for 90 minutes.

Clinical Supervision & Therapeutic Support

As a Clinical Supervisor, I provide both caseload and clinical supervision to professionals and students working in therapeutic settings. I currently supervise and case-manage colleagues within a therapeutic project and bring over 14 years of experience as a Person-Centred Counsellor, alongside additional training and practice as an EMDR therapist (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).

Much of my work centres around supporting individuals affected by trauma, sexual abuse, and domestic violence. I offer a safe, supportive, and empowering space for clients who are struggling emotionally and facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and relationship difficulties.

My core modality is Person-Centred Counselling, supported by extensive knowledge and training in other therapeutic approaches, including Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and CBT.

In supervision and therapy, I aim to provide a space where individuals can explore their difficulties and begin working towards their preferred futures. This process can lead to greater emotional stability, enhanced resilience, and improved self-esteem.

I am an accredited member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and am committed to delivering a high-quality, professional service in line with relevant legislation, ethical frameworks, and best practice guidelines.

Supervision for Counsellors & Psychotherapists

I offer clinical supervision to both qualified and trainee Counsellors and Psychotherapists. My supervision practice supports those working with individuals, couples, and groups, as well as student counsellors during their placement training. My approach is rooted in person-centred principles, fostering professional growth, reflective practice, and a supportive space to explore your work.

I bring extensive experience in providing both individual and group supervision within a therapeutic project receiving referrals from GPs, CAMHS, and children's services. As such, safeguarding remains a central focus and is continually monitored and addressed.

I believe ongoing emotional support for counsellors is vital in maintaining ethical and professional standards, safeguarding both the client and the practitioner. Regular supervision provides an opportunity to strengthen theoretical understanding, enhance practical skills, and prioritise personal wellbeing.

Supervision is not only a space to reflect on client work, but also a place to explore the emotional impact of your practice, navigate ethical dilemmas, and support your own professional development.

Online supervision sessions are available (90 minutes) at a rate of £75.
