Registered Psychologist - telehealthAs a Registered Psychologist, Lorraine views the therapeutic connection as the sacred foundation for healing. This connection is expressed through her specialised neurodiversity-affirming therapy, honouring how your unique brain works. Her approach is centred on compassionate understanding, not trying to 'fix' differences.
Her practice embodies warmth and openness, welcoming you into a non-judgmental space where you are fully seen, heard, and understood. Her goal is simple: to help you reclaim your energy and authentic self after years of pressure to mask or conform.
Lorraine is committed to working with you to build your inner strength, heal past hurts, and step fully into the authentic person you want to be. Lorraine’s care is deeply trauma-informed, combining CBT, ACT, CFT, mind-body regulation practices and EMDR.
A special interest of hers is supporting women who are deep thinkers and feelers. Lorraine helps clients master their complex emotional landscapes, transforming a rich inner world from a source of overwhelm into a source of meaning and strength.
When she's not working, Lorraine is dedicated to her own well-being. She enjoys hot yoga and pilates, settling in with a good movie, experimenting with new recipes, and planning doggy dates with her two beloved groodles, Humphrey and Albus.
Modalities
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals accept their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change them. ACT focuses on embracing emotions, distancing from unhelpful thoughts, and being present in the moment. It also emphasises identifying personal values and committing to actions aligned with those values.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviours to improve emotional wellbeing. It involves identifying and challenging distorted thoughts, implementing strategies to alter harmful behaviours, and developing practical problem-solving skills.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy technique used to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It involves having the person recall distressing memories while following the therapist's finger or experiencing other forms of bilateral stimulation, such as taps or sounds. This process is believed to help reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help people cultivate compassion for themselves and others, particularly when they struggle with shame, self-criticism, or harsh inner judgment. Drawing on evolutionary psychology, attachment theory, and neuroscience, CFT teaches skills for soothing the threat-focused emotional system and strengthening a sense of safety, warmth, and supportive self-relating. Through practices such as compassionate imagery, grounding, and developing a “compassionate self,” clients learn to respond to difficulties with understanding and courage rather than self-blame, ultimately improving emotional regulation and psychological wellbeing.
Mind–body regulation refers to the process of intentionally regulating physiological and emotional states by strengthening the connection between bodily sensations and mental processes. Through techniques such as breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness, and grounding, individuals learn to soothe stress responses and cultivate calm, focus, and emotional balance. This approach enhances awareness of internal cues, supports self-soothing, and promotes resilience and overall wellbeing.
