About Lorelle

Lorelle Busby is a counsellor with five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the effects of trauma. Lorelle speaks English and writes plainly to make the first steps easier for someone worried about reaching out.

She sees the person sitting opposite as the expert in their own life and works from that starting point. Sessions are conversational and practical. Lorelle helps clients notice strengths, try small changes and build skills that make daily life more manageable.

Her work draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She blends these to suit each person rather than following a single fixed method. That means sessions might include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising new ways of relating, or learning how to accept difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to you.

Lorelle also pays attention to attachment-related concerns and adoption and foster care issues when they are part of someone’s story. She can help people explore patterns from the past and how they show up now, or manage grief and relationship struggles that result from those experiences.

For practical next steps Lorelle works through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. She explains how the subscription model works and helps people find an approach that fits their goals and day-to-day life.

Approaches that shape online work and what to expect

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, while taking action towards what matters. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect present patterns and helps people understand and change those patterns in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Lorelle will discuss options with each person and test what helps most. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and goals become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to involve practical at-home exercises between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
