I went to see Lorraine because I didn't felt I wasn't dealing with a family breakup and had become unable to trust people. It was affecting my relationship with my friends and family.

It was nice just to be able to talk to someone and offload some of the feelings that I had bottled up then to talk about them. I had been feeling stuck for some time before I saw Lorraine, she helped me to move on and to focus on the positives.

I would recommend Lorraine to anyone either for therapy or just as someone impartial to talk to. I have finished my sessions with Lorraine but she said I am always welcome back just to talk about how I've been getting on.

It is reassuring to know that there is someone who is able to listen, in confidence, to my feelings and able to offer guidance and reassurance that I am doing alright in an often difficult and demanding world.

A friend recommended me to Lorraine at the beginning of the year and I can honestly say it is the best advice I have even taken. I was in a complete mess and couldn't see a way out of it, I felt like my life was just spiralling out of control. I couldn't sleep and was so anxious. Lorraine was so approachable and easy to talk to that she made me feel at ease straight away. I felt like I could tell her anything and she didn't judge me just sat and listened to all my thoughts and worries and helped me work thought them by thinking and looking at things in a different way. She has helped me through a difficult time and I don't know how I would have done it without her. Thanks Lorraine

Was hesitant to try counselling at first but it was the best hing I ever did. Lorraine was great throughout the process and encouraged me to be open and not be afraid, and was always available when needed. Haven't felt this posative on balanced for a long time and I couldn't have got there without her help. Can't recommend enough.

I was recommended to see Lorraine when i started to get bad panic attacks whilst driving on the motorways. She helped me talk through any issues or problems, past and present, and kindly guided me and help me re asses my life. I feel so much calmer and able to deal with the panic, and a new confendence in myself. Thank you Lorraine. I would certainly recommend her to anyone.

I was recommended to see Lorraine when i started to get panic attacks whilst driving, particularly on motorways. This really frightened me and i felt i didnt want to make long journeys anymore. She talked me through my past and everything that is worrying me. It has really helped me to asses all areas of my life so far, calm me down, and take quality time for myself. She has helped me to see that organising my busy work structure and home life is easing my anxiety and so is lessening the panic attacks. Iam so grateful to Lorraine for all the help and support and would highly recommend her.

I called Lorraine when I had no idea where to go or what to do next. Despite feeling as though my problem was very small, Lorraine never made me feel this way and always made time for me. Talking my problems through with Lorraine was the best thing I have ever done, she allowed me to tell her in my own time without be judgmental and allowing me to say how things really were without having to tell someone what I really thought they wanted to hear! Lorraine helped me to make sense of my situation and come to a decision I was happy with and not what others wanted me to do. She made me realise why others behave the way they do and why I had these feelings of anxiety and worry. Since discussing my problems with Lorraine I feel so much better, I now have all this energy and I enjoy life so much more and more importantly I believe in myself for the first time in ages! I was very hesitant to go and see Lorraine and I felt ashamed, but after talking through my problems I am so glad I went and would have no hesitation to go back to Lorraine if I should need to discuss through my problems. Talking therapy is a must for anyone who is going through a problem - it does not matter how small that problem is or how silly you feel, Lorraine is fantastic and will put you at ease and will support you through the problem. Thank you Lorraine, you have helped me to get my life back!

For the second time in my life I needed the aid of a good counsellor and Lorraine was certainly a great choice. She made me feel relaxed immediately and totally understood the way I was feeling. After just three visits I am back on my way to recovery and feeling very positive. Thanks Lorraine!

The saying "it's good to talk" is very true. When there has been so much going on in your life and you feel you cannot tell your family everything, this is the way to sort out your head and your heart. No one judging, only making you see what you already know.

I went to see Lorraine Wray after struggling to decide whether or not I wanted to end the relationship I was in. I was very confused and had a head full of uncertainties which was preventing me from moving forward with my life and making any positive decisions. She helped me understand what was wrong about the relationship I was in and made me realise what I do want from a relationship in the future. Lorraine was very easy to talk to and really gave me the courage to move forward with my life. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to her in the future if I needed help and support.

We went to see Lorraine after separating with a view to get the marriage back on track, spending 9 months with her. I can recommend using Lorraine as I found the approach, structure and general guidance she offers a great asset. The process of steering people through troubled times both face to face and over the telephone helps to alleviate the pressures and improve communication, a theme that Lorraine returned us to on many occasions, really helped.

Lorraine is really easy to talk to and she is a kind and un-judgemental lady who really listened to what I had to say. I felt 100% comfortable when talking to her and she welcomed and put me at ease from my first session onwards. Throughout my sessions Lorraine fully supported me through the hard times and I would definitely recommend Lorraine to anyone who is thinking of attending counselling it was an extremely positive step.

I started to see Lorraine after going through a difficult patch in my relationship, which nearly come to an end after 5 years!
My boyfried and I had a rather tough year for all sorts of reasons, but I found myself becoming rather controlling and quite depressed.
After meeting with Lorraine and talking through things, she helped me to understand why I was being the way I was, and how to stop. My relationship is now back on track and we are stronger and more open than ever before. I also feel like a different person, more relaxed and not so controlling.
Taking the step and meeting Lorraine was one of the best things I have ever done. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable to be able to open up to. I would recommend to anyone who is having a difficult time and in need of some guidence, to call Lorraine!!

Hi

I first seeing Lorraine back in November 2007 as I had issues with my past and a jealousy problem that were affecting my current relationship.

Lorraine made me feel relaxed from the first session and I found her so easy to talk to and to explain my problems to.
I found that she had a way of making me figure out the answers to problems rather than telling me what to do. I had carried round emotional baggage for the last few years of my life and this along with a jealousy problem were wrecking my relationship with my partner of a year and a half.

I found offloading all of my problems and talking about them in an honest way to Lorraine who was non judgemental and simply sat and listened to what I had to say, was a positive step in the right direction.

I stopped my sessions with Lorraine in January this year as I had reached a point where I felt happier in life, happier in myself and more positive about the future, I no longer have jealousy in my life and my relationship with my partner has improved greatly.

Thanks Lorraine!

Claire

I started to see Lorraine because i suffer from anxiety and have done for as long as i can remember.

I felt nervous about going for the first time, for obvious reasons. But when i got there i felt welcomed by Lorraine and at ease with the environment. I felt i could open up and start to get all my problems across to Lorraine with ease.

Since then i have visited Lorraine once a week and still do at this present time. I find it very helpful and i recommend Lorraine to anyone in the local area who is thinking of seeking help.

You wont regret it.

I contacted Lorraine when I was suffering from extreme anxiety, I wasnʼt eating or sleeping properly and was at the end of my teather. I was in a new relationship and was worrying about everything, and because of how I was feeling automatically assumed that because I was feeing like this that the relationship was wrong and I had to end it. This caused more anxiety because I didnʼt want to, I was very confused.
Lorrine helped me see that the feelings I was feeling were down to my past and not down to the relationship and helped me understand my feelings.
I had 6 sessions with Lorraine and always felt at ease and comfortable with her, she had a very uncanny knack of making me come up with the answers I was looking for rather than telling me the answers.
I am now happy and settled and looking foward not dreading my future. I am getting married next year, and I have to say that if it wasnʼt for Lorraines help this would never be the case, so Thank You Lorraine.

I called Lorraine, when I was experiencing problems in my marriage and from the first conversation I had with her I felt at ease and was grateful for someone to listen. There were aspects of my life that I kept bottled up inside and Lorraine helped me face those, which lifted my confidence no end. My husband kept telling me that our marriage had got to where is was because of me and I believed it was all my fault - but Lorraine made me realise that the issues I had were not all down to me! She gave regular advice on how to approach certain things and although I feel so much better in myself and have stopped my sessions, I have arranged to meet with Lorraine in about 2 months, just to have an update on where I am. If anyone is experiencing any problems in their life I would highly recommend counselling from Lorraine for support and guidance.

I visited Lorraine for several months while I was experiencing a great deal of instability in my life which was causing me anxiety and depression. She helped me to understand the reasons behind my feelings and helped me to put my problems back in perspective. Through our sessions I was able to regain a positive attitude and my confidence. She was always very approachable and I felt completely at ease discussing my problems with her. I would recommend Talking Therapy for anyone who is going through a difficult time and who needs someone to support and help them.
