Lorraine Golding Dip. Counsel MBACP (Accred) & MNCPS Acc.
Hello I’m Lorraine, BACP Accredited psychotherapist & Clinical supervisor working online across the UK and In-person based around Truro, Cornwall.
Always person centred from my counselling training but occasionally working integratively when it comes to supporting my clients and their needs e.g. offer blended counselling. Another interesting fact is my separate Audiology work being an experienced senior audiologist well aware of deaf awareness someone who understand deaf culture. This means lots of transferable skills taken into my counselling as I communicate well with people who can easily lip read me along with my ability to use basic BSL (sign language) or make adaptions to aid communication in counselling sessions.
I work in my own Private practice with individual adults 18+ but also see clients for ‘Care Coins’ Red Umbrella and more recently available to book on the Paranimo platform for ‘Deaf & Hearing Loss’ Clients.
I’m a mature sensitive therapist who tries to be flexible to meet schedules, work patterns and obviously fees. I’m available for counselling or supervision currently two days a week on Tuesdays and Friday mornings for in-person sessions and the afternoons mostly Online. I can also provide consultative supervision for professionals supporting and caring for people in their everyday roles suitable for vets, doctors, nurses and teachers etc.
Whether you are looking for Counselling or Supervision, it is important to find the right professional for your needs. At times it can be an arduous task, learning about the different ways of working, their modalities and what that means to you.
Lets keep this simple. Person centred means warmth and sincerity from the start, a non-judgemental and a holistic way of working. Never put people into boxes and choose to look for the wider picture, working with a person centred approach alongside Integrative skills and tools approaches if needed especially with supervision models. The different models can combine together from the seven-eyed model through to the Cyclical model.
With collaborative effort, trust and an explorative inquisitive nature we can talk about what is bothering you and attempt to find meaning and a way forward.
If you are drawn to work with me, or wish to discuss how this would look moving forward please contact me through the email below or leave a message and I will get back to you – my aim within 48 hours. Say a little about yourself and what you are looking for from counselling or clinical supervision. Thank -you.

Work With Me
I have different facets. I’m a counsellor, audiologist and trained sound practitioner who brings these different elements into the counselling room. My ‘uniqueness’ sets me apart from others and it allows me to work across different age groups and see people from all ‘walks of life’.
I have rich experience with Anxiety and Depression, Bereavement and Loss. Recently including baby loss and Clients living with cancer. These issues are not just limited to the above but often around transitions in life, certain feelings that are difficult to talk about with family or friends. I work clinically but hold a holistic view to see the whole person as an incredibly special individual. I offer warm, safe environment, free from threat, judgement or criticism. This is fully embracing what in counselling terms we call the Core conditions.
This is an honest compassionate space where you can be yourself, start to make sense of your world and work out where you fit.
The work is non-directive, giving you the choice of where to go in the counselling hour. If you want direction we can set goals, we can work creatively but my practice is about YOU, upholding respect and autonomy. This is essential if you are to feel comfortable in the therapeutic relationship and find the right counsellor to meet your needs. Feel free to email and ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them. Note my mobile is switched off during sessions, and the best way to contact me is to leave a voicemail or send an email where I can book you directly into a paid session.

Please note I have a variety of fees reflecting different working times and days along with a few reduced slots (20% reduction) as sliding scales for individual who struggle to meet the full fee. This needs to be discussed on first inquiry as very much depends on my availability before contracting and agreeing to work together.
Quieter periods offer Introductory Calls of 20 mins (free) via my Counselling Directory page but during busy counselling days may not offer these and go straight into paid sessions which require completed intake forms forming part of my assessment process (see pages on the website giving example of my intake questions and full fees).
