About me and my therapy practice:
Empowering YOU to Overcome Trauma and Embrace Your Authentic Self.

Do you struggle with trauma and anxiety? Do you wonder if you'll ever be free? Happy If you feel overwhelmed and stuck in your work or family dynamics, I can help you. I'll empower you to embrace your authentic self, move forward, and start thriving.

Hello! I’m Lorraine, at The Art of Thriving, where I am dedicated to helping women like you; who feel trapped by trauma, anxiety, depression and the demands of relationships and the balance of a difficult work-life.

My passion is to guide you toward a life where you feel empowered, authentic, and capable of expressing your needs without fear. Together, we will work to break free from patterns of people-pleasing and build a foundation for thriving in all areas of your life.

I'm Trauma-Informed and provide Neuroaffirmative Practices.

I believe there is hope and healing. I will start by understanding where you are now and your challenges. I'll help you to grow your awareness and develop gentle techniques to regulate your emotions.

Helping women live a better life is my passion. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through traumatic experiences, developing easier communication styles, or changing a pattern of behaviour that keeps you stuck.

My goal is to help you feel better, so you can live the life you've always dreamed of. This will promote healing and growth, allowing you to flourish to your full potential.

Approach:

I embrace a Relational and integrative approach to therapy that centres on your unique needs and experiences. My therapeutic framework includes Transactional Analysis to help you understand and improve your relationship with yourself and others, mindfulness techniques for stress reduction, and neuroaffirmative practices to celebrate and support diverse neurological experiences. Together, we will cultivate a safe and compassionate environment where you can explore your vulnerabilities and discover your authentic self.

Inclusivity is at the Heart of Therapy.

My passion lies in truly understanding the intricacies of neurodiversity. Empowerment and self-advocacy are key focuses. To explore what it is like to navigate a world that does not always understand your unique experiences.

I will give you the time and space to process the information, to enable you to feel heard and supported.

Join me on this adventure—a journey of understanding, acceptance, and growth. We'll embrace your neurodiversity by supporting your unique strengths and challenges that make you wonderfully you.

What to Expect in Your First Session:

Online Therapy at Your Convenience. Experience the benefits of therapy from the comfort and safety of your home with our online sessions.

Your first session will help us determine whether we are a good fit for each other. We'll explore your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve. Let’s chat about how long we might work together, whether you’re considering a short-term, medium-term, or long-term commitment!

Feel free to ask questions; I’m here to address any concerns you might have.

My session times are Tuesday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. I'll do my best to get back to you the same day you reach out.

Before we begin, I'll need you to complete a working contract and a quick assessment. This will help me assist you more effectively!

If you like what you read about me, please email or text me to book an initial session. We can use this opportunity to see if the way I work suits you.

If my experience or our availability doesn't align, I have a wide network of other therapists, and I can refer you if you wish, so you don't have to start your search from scratch.
