Lorraine Fowler

I work daytimes and early evenings 

Sessions are 50 minutes long and ideally on a regular weekly basis for you to get the most out of your therapeutic counselling. (I understand that sometimes weekly sessions won't fit in with your lifestyle. This is something we can discuss and work through)

As an accredited humanistic counsellor (BA Hons)  I believe in your unique qualities, I deeply value your life experiences and what has happened to you.

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk through your thoughts, experiences, feelings, emotions and behaviours.

With compassion and empathy our work together can help to gain an understanding of the effects that fear, trauma, distress, abuse, anxiety, loss, depression, low mood, and lack of confidence has had on you and your life.

Without knowing it, we can be triggered by our past experiences and traumas but by talking we can identify how these affect feelings and behaviours and work on new coping mechanisms.

I will be there to support you while you work through what might feel like hopeless, distressing and or overwhelming situations, in order for us both to gain a better understanding on what is going on for you. Gaining clarity on the challenges or distress you are facing helps identify choices in front of you, that were not perhaps obvious to you before.  Having options may help you feel less trapped in situations.

I will gently encourage you to be open as you can be with me so that our work together in your sessions helps to promote positive change, growth and self-compassion in you.   

I will be with you, listen and accompany you on your journey of change, and hope that you will gain your voice and value yourself more than you thought possible.

I offer time limited and open-ended therapy, depending on your needs.

I practice from a dedicated room, located in Southbourne, on the Hampshire and West Sussex border.

Free on-site parking

Southbourne mainline train station is a 15 minute walk away

My therapy room is on the ground floor and is accessible for most people including wheelchair users (removable ramps are available)

Sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £50

I am recognised through private medical companies - BUPA, AXA and Aviva.

I offer a free 20 minute initial session so that we can get know each other a little and see how well suited we are to working together. This session can be conducted face to face,  phone or zoom.

If you think I'm the right counsellor for you, give me a call, txt or email so that we can arrange a mutually convenient time to talk.
