Lorraine Quinlan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as well as an accredited member of the National Counselling Society - both professional bodies that support standards in counselling practice.
With four years of clinical experience, Lorraine works with people facing a broad range of difficulties, including disordered eating, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, work-related stress, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence such as autism. She also supports clients with issues relating to self-esteem, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy, sleep, parenting, anger, career decisions and compassion fatigue, and provides LGBT-affirming care.
Lorraine believes clients are the authors of their own stories and aims to help them uncover inner strengths to make lasting changes. Her approach is relational and collaborative, focused on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where pressures from past experiences and society can be explored and addressed.
Her own lived experience of disordered eating, fibromyalgia, cluster headaches and anxiety informs a compassionate way of working and an understanding of how overwhelming these struggles can feel. Lorraine is particularly committed to helping people who are prone to binge and emotional eating, exploring root causes and developing kinder coping strategies.
She offers tailored support for people with ADHD and for those coming to terms with a later diagnosis, working on practical strategies, self-awareness and strength-based planning. New for 2025, Lorraine also provides specialised support for clients using Mounjaro weight-loss injections, helping them manage the emotional, mental and lifestyle aspects that can accompany a weight-loss journey.
Whether addressing disordered eating, neurodivergence, relationship concerns or other life challenges, Lorraine aims to help clients build acceptance, resilience and practical tools that support long-term wellbeing. She walks alongside people as they let go of what no longer serves them and work toward a life more aligned with their values and goals.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the way of connecting that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapists who provide online support are licensed professionals, and if a different match is needed it is possible to switch to another therapist. Online work can offer practical, consistent access to support while keeping the focus on progress and wellbeing.
