Lorraine Mooney, AuDHD Adult, Adolescent & Child Psychotherapist.

I work with clients in helping them find a safe space which is comfortable for their own specific needs, whilst supporting them to achieve their full potential.

In my practice I encompass, equality, diversity, and inclusion irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity.

My main therapeutic approach is Humanistic where I apply a Person-Centered focus with clients by establishing an empathic and nonjudgmental relationship in a relaxed, confidential setting with each client.

As well as talk therapy, I enhance the therapeutic process where appropriate, using Mindfulness, Meditation and Creative Arts, helping the client express themselves, through painting, drawing, collage, clay, sand tray, poetry, and music allowing freedom for the individual to open their minds and create in a free-flowing method. Working creatively, is working from the bottom up, gently bringing the unconscious to the conscious. Through the relationship and process, I assist the client to find meaning in their work in a contained, appropriate, safe atmosphere. I feel that this process is especially beneficial for those clients who find verbal expression difficult.

I have also completed training in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. A ground based therapeutic experience incorporating a mental health professional, qualified equine specialist and the horses working collaboratively with the client.

My main areas of work are as follows: mental health challenges; anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, self-harm, suicide distress, eating distress, gender identity (LGBTQIA+), sexuality, women’s health, chronic pain, disabilities, allergies (anaphylaxis), relationships & spirituality.

I work both online and in person. I offer an initial free online or telephone conversation where we can discuss if my neorafirmative practice meets your needs and concerns.
