Affinity & Beyond Therapy

Lorraine has been a wonderful therapist for me. She is very approachable and makes you feel at ease. She helped me with a long standing issue of health anxiety and gave me tools to help me manage my problem. I would certainly recommend this very professional and knowledgeable lady to anyone needing support. I can't thank her enough for the way she changed my life. If you are reading this please don't keep battling alone. Lorraine speaks to you over the phone initially with no commitment so you can make a decision after speaking. I highly recommend her.

Lorraine was very friendly and waiting too listen to my issues from the first session. I got some relief from my issues within the first week after this session, And my issues got better as the weeks went on, and by the 5th (last )session I was a lot better.But I needed to keep up with my daily exercises which were only 10 minutes per day, at any time of the day to suit my daily plans.Note: you need to be open minded too get the best from your sessions with Lorraine.

Lorraine has been fantastic in supporting me through a new onset of anxiety following an illness. She was patient, kind and I felt very well connected to her. She has equipped me with practical tools for the future and I know where to return if I feel I need help again

I found the support with Lorraine absolutely invaluable. I completed 5 sessions around general anxiety and feel I got out way more than I expected from the sessions. Lorraine is kind, empathic and a good listener. I felt heard and understood during the sessions and came away armed with both validation and practical tools to help me manage distressing thoughts in between sessions. Thank you so much Lorraine.

Lorraine has been fantastic. She was able to soon pin point exactly which therapy would suit me best, which turned out to be Hypnotism.With the use of the Hypnosis we were able to address issues that had contributed to my anxiety. She was also able to work on methods to help myself become more aware of my own way of thinking and ways to channel my thoughts in more positive directions. This isn't an easy thing to do but the more I practice the better I get, especially with Lorraine's encouragement.I have seen numerous therapists and counsellors in the past and I have found that Lorraine's more personal and chanelled approach to have far outweighed any of them. She makes herself available between sessions if you need to contact her, if you need to ask for help or for clarification on what you have previously disgust; to say if something isn't working or in fact if something is!I would highly recommend Lorraine, you will not be wasting your time going through set therapy procedures that don't even touch your particular area where you need the help. She will be able to assess your needs from quite early on and gear your therapy to suit you only.I just wish I'd have been able to see Lorraine many years ago, I'm sure my life would have been a lot calmer.With many thanksAJ

Lorraine is friendly and approachable and made me feel at ease from the first session. Highly recommended. Thanks for all your help Lorraine.

I was given Lorraines contact details by a relative, and was pretty apprehensive in giving therapy a try to begin with. After struggling with my mental health for a number of years, and finding it hard to talk and face certain aspects of my life, I agreed to try something different for the sake of everyone else’s concerns. I was extremely sceptical about therapy and as it was something I had never experienced before, and didn’t feel it would help me. I was completely wrong!!From the initial phone call Lorraine made me feel at ease and I eventually found it easier to open up, Lorraine listens and understands and the exercises and methods we worked through together have made such a massive difference to me as a person and the way I see things already, and I finally feel able to move forward and have a more positive future. It is a process you must work with Lorraine on, and of course it will not “cure” you altogether but the whole process has given me ways of coping that I would never have tried before or even known about if it wasn’t for Lorraine’s expertise and knowledge in what she does. I honestly can’t thank Lorraine enough, I know this is the start of a more positive future and getting therapy is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you so much Lorraine, you have been amazing.

Lorraine was very professional and so lovely, she made me feel at ease from my very first session. She has helped me develop a tool box to deal with my bereavement as well as my self esteem and confidence. I have been in much a happier place since my sessions and when the grief does set in occasionally I feel I have been able to cope with it better than I ever have done by myself before.

It was a pleasure to work with Lorraine who was able to help me overcome a severe needle phobia by using combination of anxiety coping strategies and hypnotherapy. As a result I was able to have a vaccination without fainting for the first time in many years.Jacqui Bradshaw
