Ms Lorna Boyle

I went to Lorna for just over a year and found her to be exactly the therapist I needed. Having previously found it difficult to connect with therapists I found she really listened, help space for silence and also challenged me in my thinking. My life is exceptionally better and my relationships are so much healthier as a direct result of the work I did with Lorna

Lorna supported me through a tough period in my life, following a bereavement and a difficult situation at work. I was overwhelmed, lost and probably depressed. Lorna helped me to begin to process everything I was carrying. Her warmth and insight helped me rebuild my confidence and start to accept some of the things I cannot change. I’m deeply grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone going through grief or another life challenge. Thanks Lorna.

I was feeling a bit stuck in life, struggling with anxiety and demotivation. I wanted to change but wasn't sure how. I'd never been to therapy before so I was nervous, but Lorna put me at ease. Talking to her really helped me to manage my anxiety. It also gave me the confidence to make positive changes and to figure out what I want from life. I would recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a therapist who really cares.

My first true experience of therapy was with Lorna. I was daunted going into it but Lorna was brilliant. I couldn't recommend highly enough for helping me.

I find that Lorna is always able to ease my worries by reiterating my concerns back to me in much less overwhelming language. Whenever I leave a session, I feel validated, seen and like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Going to therapy has really helped me to make small positive changes in my life to help better manage my ADHD, anxiety and depression. Would really recommend giving it a go.

Lorna was warm and welcoming in all our communications. She made me feel comfortable sharing about my life and issues I brought to therapy. Her therapy room is lovely, very comfortable and completely private.

I would very strongly recommend Lorna. I first went to her to try and help me get over a difficult break‑up that had been affecting me for a long time. However, over the course of a few months, Lorna was able to tackle really the root of the issue which was my low self-esteem. Lorna's insights and practical tools really helped me to recognise the negative pattern of my thoughts and have made huge difference — I’ve become far more confident, positive, and have been much better able to handle stressful situations since finishing our therapy sessions. In particular, I always found that Lorna really understood me and how I was feeling meaning that it immediately felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a stranger. This feeling gave me a lot of support even outside of my weekly therapy session as I knew I would be able to discuss anything that had been causing me stress and feel understood when I saw Lorna.

I wanted to talk about stress, anxiety and perinatal bereavement. Lorna made me feel comfortable talking about difficult thoughts and offered reassurance and alternative ways to view issues. It was very helpful and I felt supported.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Lorna when I did. I had avoided going to therapy for over a decade when I first met her and it is a testament to her patient and thoughtful practice that I returned week-on-week for the next year. Although I first got in touch with her in order to deal with bereavement and family issues, her kind and deliberate counselling guided me through so much more. She met me where I was at - during a very low period - and allowed me the space and time to find my bearings in therapy, while actively giving me the tools I needed to redress a decade of neglected grief. Collaterally, she thus helped me regain parts of my self I thought I'd lost, including my sense of confidence, self-esteem and optimism. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found in her a therapist who who was able to listen meaningfully to me and create the counselling experience I needed at that time.
