Lora Finch, BACP

Lora Finch welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of the next step. She makes space for honest conversation and helps clients name what is happening for them. Lora writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person who reaches out.

She offers talking therapy for adults and teenagers from the United Kingdom. Lora draws on five years of practice and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, eating and addiction issues, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people with ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related worries.

Her style is informal and collaborative. Lora aims to build a trusting, supportive relationship and encourages honest, authentic conversation. Sessions are a place to reflect, confront painful patterns and try out new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Practical matters are part of the work too. Lora helps people make sense of setbacks at work or home, manage strong emotions like anger or shame, and address problems with communication or commitment. She also works with people who are dealing with chronic illness, bereavement, or family conflict.

Lora is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging and works in English. To begin, people use a short online questionnaire and schedule sessions to fit their needs.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Two common evidence-based ways of working are often used in short-term and longer-term therapy. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small changes in daily life to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with stress, depression, eating concerns and addiction-related behaviours. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns developed over time, which can be useful for abandonment, intimacy and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a joint task. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and review progress regularly so the work stays relevant to the person’s needs.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Video calls give face-to-face contact; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief exchanges and ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.
