Lorna Allport

Lorna Allport offers a calm, supportive approach to people who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or have been carrying feelings of dread, sadness or anger for some time and are now tired. She is an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 10 years of professional experience to her practice.

Alongside her counselling work, she is a member of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and will shortly be gaining accreditation. EMDR is a psychotherapy approach designed to address distressing or traumatic memories by helping those memories become processed when they remain unprocessed or blocked.

She has experience supporting clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. As a trained couple counsellor, she has worked successfully with many couples. She is also trained in plat therapy and has experience working in an educational setting.

Another part of her career has been offering support and counselling to bereaved families and to individuals struggling with terminal illness. She works as a female therapist and is described among her specialties as older, non-religious, and liberal.

Lorna believes clients are the experts in their own stories and that they have strengths which can help them overcome the challenges they face. She aims to support and empower people as they take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.
