Lorelle Busby, BACP

Lorelle Busby offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She welcomes those coping with trauma, confidence or motivation struggles, and people facing relationship, parenting or career pressures. Lorelle writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone juggling family and work commitments.

She works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and build on their existing strengths. Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s needs, with attention to both immediate coping and longer term goals.

Over five years she has helped people with difficult life changes, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, adoption and foster care experiences, and autism-related challenges. Work can include anger, control issues, hoarding, and other struggles that affect day-to-day life.

Lorelle uses a mix of approaches to suit different situations. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and habits, and Attachment-Based work to look at relational patterns. Sessions may also use Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centred ways of working where emotional expression and the therapist-client relationship are central.

Lorelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She provides support in English and practises from the United Kingdom. The aim is steady progress, with plans tailored to each person’s pace and priorities.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, and it often uses practical exercises between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, helping people understand reactions and build new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. Choices are made collaboratively so the plan matches what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and are useful when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions suit people who need a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share thoughts in writing and fit support around busy days. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose the style that best fits day-to-day life.
